IS 2015 - no shortcut on Windows 10 Start Menu
Hi,
I am using InstallShield 2015 and my target is Windows 10.
In my IS project, in System Configuration, I have created shortcuts:
- In Desktop
- In Taskbar/Start Menu/Programs Menu/<my company name>/<my software name>
The shortcut is well created on the Desktop after the installation of my software but not on the Windows 10 Start Menu.
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance
Pascal

Hi,
I solved the problem. In my application shortcut properties, I set Component parameter to "DefautComponent".
But the icon of the shortcut is empty in the Start Menu and when I go to the location of the shortcut with Windows Explorer, the icon is well displayed.
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance, Pascal
