Hi,
my installations installs some shortcuts to AllUsers (c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\).
If I wrap this installation into a .msi file (InstallAware Group Policy Wizard) then the shortcuts are installed only per user. The shortcuts are not installed to c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ but to
c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
I didn't change anything in CMDLINE and the setup is the same that workes fine.
Tested on Windows 8.1.
