X4 & Win 10 Pin to Taskbar not working?

[QooScho]

Hello,
I have switched from IA17 to X4 to provide also Windows 10.
In my MSI code I had a section where you can pin a icon to the taskbar. This works fine in Win 7.

Code: Select all

     Create Shortcut $SHORTCUTFOLDER$\My Client to $PROGDIR$\Myclient.exe
     if Variable DESKTOPICON Equals TRUE
       Create Shortcut $DESKTOPDIR$\My Client to $PROGDIR$\Myclient.exe, Pin to Start Menu, Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start Screen
     end


In the Create Shortcut Dialog there are 3 checkboxes activated:
- Start Menu /windows XP through 7)
- Taskbar (win 7 and higher)
- StartScreen/menu (Windows8/10 and higher)

But anyway, there is no Icon on the taskbar in Win 10. There is a Icon on the desktop and in the Win 10 Start but not in the taskbar.

Any idea?

thanks a lot
best regards
Hans

Dear Hans,

I don't see any problem with pinning to taskbar via Create Shortcurt command.
I just used the "Shortcuts sample" and modified script line 221 as below.

You may post a very simple project that replicates the issue.
