Hi there,
I'm new to Installshield and creating Setups. I have now the following problem with a quite simple program. I want to offer two setup-types. The only difference will be that the second one has a shortcut of the program-exe in the startup-folder.
Now my problem is "how to create a shortcut of the program-exe in the startup folder, in that way, that the working-directory is the [install-dir]".
I only managed to create a shortcut but the working-directory wasn't the install-dir and it didn't work.
To create a shortcut in the "Shortcut-Section" won't work either, although you can set the working-directory there, because it is supposed to be optional (for the second setup-type).

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to tell you
Thanks a lot.

If you can't help me here, does anybody know where I can get help with this?

I'm not quite familiar with Express (I'm using the Premier edition) so I don't know if there's a field where you can enter the working dir. This should be described in the help file.
