Software Deployment

Not sure this will work, since I'm working from memory here..

If I remember correctly CS apps used an ABCPY.ini file that stores installation settings, and there's a CA in the MSI to read values. Now, a little search on the internet taught me that you might want to try adding the following to the file:

[OEM Install]
ProgGroupName=Adobe Acrobat

and change as desired. I repeat though, this is untested.

Another option might be to put the following into the OptionXML file that got streamed into the MSI's binary table:

 <Deployment>

<Property name="StartMenuSubFolder">C:\Documents and settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe\Illustrator CS4</Property>

I'm pretty sure piyushnasa used the customization tool, and as far as I can see there's no option to change the icons location in the tool.

I know you're a skilled packager piyushnasa, and probably already checked it, but do the MSI(s) have any properties you could add to your install string?

I know in previous versions there was a response file (xml file if I recall correct) that you could use to install Adobe products if you didnt use the tool. Are there any in CS6 and could you use that?

You may have to create a script to look for the existance of the files in c:\programdata\microsoft\start menu\programs and move them to the subfolder you want as a post install task.  I fought this with cs5 and just ended up creating a install batch file.

Voted down my first answer so how about this?

only reference I found to what you want, may make sense to you.  hopefully helps
