AddFolderIcon failed in Windows7

Hi,

My AddFolderIcon script works well for all OS but Windows7:

if (AddFolderIcon(FOLDER_PROGRAMS^strGroupFolder,QBSHORTCUTFILENAME,"\""+strInstallDir+"qckbld.exe\"",strInstallDir,"",0,"",REPLACE) < 0) then
MessageBox ("Couldn't add MyAPP shortcut to Start Menu.", SEVERE);
endif;

Is there any special things in Windows7? Could someone help on this issue?

Many Many thanks!!!

This an installscript or basic MSI project? in my Basic MSI project I had to set my Custom Action to Deferred Execution and make sure it's between Install Initialize and Install Finalize. This way the action can be rolled back on failure/cancel.

Thanks lordmaxx, I think mine is basic MSI project. I am sure my execution is between Install Initialize and Install Finalize. Installshiled failed to execute AddFolderIcon and error message pops up.

The error only occurred on Windows 7. It works well on Windows XP, windows 2003 and so on.

Thanks.
