I am trying to use the Visual Studio Installer and have run into a problem. I am trying to create shortcuts on the desktop and in the start menu when I install, but the shortcuts it creates are invalid. They point to my program but aren't starting in the right directory, so the thing doesn't work. When I look at the properties of the created shortcut, the Target and Start In fields are empty and disabled. I can't change them!

I've read through the documentation in the VFP VSI white paper as well as through all the help files for VSI and I can't find anything referencing this. Have I missed something obvious? Is this a problem anybody else is having, or is anybody else even using this installer to distribute things?

On a related note, is it possible to allow the user to change the folder created in start menu? This is a feature of virtually every other installer I have seen, VSI doesn't seem to have it though.

Thanks for the help.
