Creating start menu shortcut using Qt installer framework

Ratzz

I am trying to create shortcut of a folder in the start menu of my application using Qt-framework installer . I have used this code in my installscript.qs i am able to get the shortcut of it in my start menu ( as shown for notepad). Is it possible to get the folder for the same using installer framework ??? (shown for notepad )

Component.prototype.createmenuOperations = function()
{
    component.createOperations();

    if (systemInfo.productType === "windows") {
        component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@/App.exe", "@StartMenuDir@/App.lnk",
            "workingDirectory=@TargetDir@", "iconPath=@TargetDir@/App.ico");
    }
}

and i have also tried

Component.prototype.createmenuOperations = function()
{
    component.createOperations();

    if (systemInfo.productType === "windows") {
        component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@", "@StartMenuDir@/App.lnk",
            "workingDirectory=@TargetDir@", "iconPath=@TargetDir@/App.ico");
    }
}

I have added these to my installscript.qs which creates a folder of my application .

Component.prototype.createOperations = function()
{
    try {
        // call the base create operations function
        component.createOperations();
        if (installer.value("os") == "win") { 
            try {
component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "@TargetDir@/App.exe", "@StartMenuDir@/App.lnk", "workingDirectory=@TargetDir@", "iconPath=@TargetDir@/App.ico");
            } catch (e) {
                // Do nothing if key doesn't exist
            }
        }
    } catch (e) {
        print(e);

@Ratzz
Did this solve your issue?

[edit: koahnig] Found the example in the installer framework and I am able to create shortcut now.
