I am using Installshield 11.

I have created a very basic package that includes one exe that is copied to the program files directory. and one shortcut for that exe.

however, I need to change the "start in" location so that it points to the log in users profile directory.

I changed the Working directory for the shortcut to [USERPROFILE]. However the shortcut is always putting c: in the start in.

very frustrationg as this shoudl work. Out of curoiusity I tried changing the working directory to [APPDATAFOLDER] and that worked fine. There does not seem to be a reason for USERPROFILE to not work.

Anyway ideas?
Thank You

USERPROFILE isn't a predefined property. Are you setting it somewhere? Did you generate a verbose log file to see the value of the USERPROFILE property?
