Hi all,

Looking at my very first msi file in orca. MSI file was automatically generated by Access 2003 Developer Extensions packaging wizard.

Have two shortcuts, but they both appear directly under Start>Programs, rather than Start>Programs>My AppName>Shortcut 1 etc.

Does anyone know what changes I need to make in the msi file to get the desired result?

Thank you in anticipation.

John

1.Open the MSI file using Orca
2.Check the directory table..if you have already created a directory for your APP (which should have the Directory_Parent as "ProgramMenuFolder"),if not create one directory with the parent as "ProgramMenuFolder".
3.Look into the Shotcut table and modify the "Directory_" column of the shortcuts you are interested in to the Above Direcotry(from step 2)

Thanks,
L
