Pin To Startscreen

Postby PietJan » Tue Jan 22, 2013 1:40 am

Hello Support,

I am using the latest Studio Admin version (15.2.3) and upgraded my existing installer project to support Windows 8.
This project uses the Native Installer component.

In our installer the user gets a question to pin the main program to the startscreen of windows 8.
When the installer is finished the main program does not appear on the main startscreen of windows 8. It appears in the screen of "All apps" (the button on the lower right corner) but not in the main startscreen.
If I select the installed application in this "All apps" screen then windows 8 tells me that it is pinned to the startscreen, however it does not appear in the startscreen (not even after rebooting).

I included our project, maybe you can see what I am doing wrong?
(note, in the project some vars are defined globally to control the script)

regards
PietJan
