Windows 10 and Start Menu Pinning

[Sheri_Steeves]

Hello,

I am building installs using X2 Build 12.4.14 and testing them on a Windows 10 Technical Preview and I am having a problem getting my desired shortcut to be pinned to the Windows 10 start screen or the new Windows 10 start menu pinning area.

I have set only one of my shortcuts to be pinned to the Windows 8 Start screen by selecting the Pin Shortcut to Start Menu (Windows 8 ) in the shortcut properties.

When I have Windows 10 set to use the Start menu and run the installer, only the All Programs shortcuts (All apps icons in Start Screen) are created. I do not see a new tile in th right hand section of the start menu. When I changed the navigation to use the start screen instead, I also did not see a new tile pinned to the screen.

I ran the same install on Windows 8.1 and also did not see a tile added to the start screen. As a further test, I ran our previous install for the same product built with InstallAware 18 and I also did not get the shortcut pinned to the Windows 8 Start menu.

Is there something else I have to do?

Thanks,

Sheri

Dear Sheri,

I am not able to replicate the same, using the following code the shortcut gets pinned correctly under Start Screen.

Code: Select all

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Create Shortcut~
~{3AC87312-CDA5-4DED-AC89-30476DD7F445}~
~$TARGETDIR$\WinDiff.Exe|FALSE~
~WinDiff32~
~$SHORTCUTFOLDER$|FALSE~
~~
~~
~|FALSE~
~|FALSE~
~|~
~0|X8~


I used IA X2 19.03 with my test (... you can check the version under Add Remove Program).
