hi all,

i know this has been asked more then once but no one seems to have a
strait answer

i am having a difficult time getting a CAB file to install a shortcut
into \Windows\Help. The relevant portions of my INF file are listed
below. The first two shortcuts work fine, but the one that should go
in \Windows\Help goes in \Windows instead. The shortcut works, it's
just in the wrong place.

Can anyone help?


Setup
VS2005 pro (Full)
PPC 2003 (Device)
PPC 2003se (Device)
WM 5.0 (Device)

here is what i've tried as fare as inf files
original file created by VS 2005

[DefaultInstall]
CEShortcuts=Shortcuts

[DestinationDirs]
Shortcuts=0,%CE2%\Start Menu

[Shortcuts]
"myhelpfile",0,"myfile.htm","%CE2%\Help"
"myapp",0,"myapp.exe","%CE11%"

this doesn't work always put myhelpfile shortcut into \Windows "Grrrr"
myapp shortcut works fine "Yheeeeee"

then i tried the old way with this in the inf file and using BuildCabs
bat file

[DefaultInstall]
CEShortcuts=Shortcuts,Shortcuts.Help

[DestinationDirs]
Shortcuts=0,%CE2%\Start Menu
Shortcuts.Help=0,%CE2%\Help

[Shortcuts]
"myapp",0,"myapp.exe","%CE11%"

[Shortcuts.Help]
"myhelpfile",0,"myfile.htm","%CE2%\Help"

still the same result
this doesn't work. always put myhelpfile shortcut into \Windows
"Grrrrrr"
myapp shortcut works fine "Yheeeeeeeeee"

The Help directory does exist on the device if i move my shortcut my
self directly it works fine

please help

thankx
