Accepting Program Group name from user

Hi,

I have a requirement to give user an option to edit program group (folder) name, while running the setup.

The default shortcut creation dialog gives just a check box to create program group.

I want edit box in front of program group check box, in which user will type the name of program group. If that group already exists, the program being installed will go in it or if user gives new name, that program group will get created freshly.

Please share how I can achieve this

Hello,

The property that stores that location is called SHORTCUTDIR. You can use it in the Dialog Editor and allow the user to change it from the package UI.

All the best,

We also have a related predefined functionality in the StartMenuShortcutsDlg.
