Photoshop 12.1 - CS5.1 - Start menu Shortcuts
I built package with - Adobe Application Manager.
Once done, I transform the MSI via WPS & export the Binary data from optionXML into a setup.xml file.
Now in this file, as I have done in all the other CS5 apps - If you add the section below (StartMenuSubFolder) to to the xml file & re-import it then it should set the default start menu, but not for this one.
This is one from phtoshop that doesn't work

<Property name="StartMenuSubFolder">C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe\PhotoShop CS5</Property>

Here is one from InDesign CS5 that does work.

As you can see they look similar & should work but doesn't
I also exported it back out to verify & its correct as above.
Did Adobe change the name or the way to make it work.
For those who asked -
You must export the binary table before you get the xml file.
I would use Orca for this - as Wise will add its crap to MSI & may break it.
open MSI in Orca
Click
Binary Table
on right side find optionsXML & select line.
double click on the [Binary data] & do what the popup box ask.

That worked.
So you need to do this is in the MSI not the MST.
So you need to do this is in the MSI not the MST.i suspect that your transform didn't get applied to the MSI.
WI has no means to determine "internally" that changes are appplied via an MSI or an MST since the two are effectively merged at run-time.
but i dont find any XML file when i open MSI with wise.
Plz let me know where i can implement the above process.
