specify windows working directory...
specify windows working directory The create_shortcut built-in function used in the windows post-installation script allows the working directory to be specified. If it is not specified, the working directory will default to something like "C:\Windows". Specifying the working directory as "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" seems a better default, it sets the working directory the the current user's home directory.
