Shell_object_folder

[milan10]

I have trouble with setting the SHELL_OBJECT_FOLDER variable in InstallScript MSI project. The selected folder for shorcuts doesn't take any effect and instead the folder called SHELL_OBJECT_FOLDER is created under Start - Programs menu.

I have debugged the InstallScript code and everything seems to go fine. Also the summary page shows the selected folder.

The problem appeared after I converted the project from IS 11 to IS 2008.
