Description:
The installer correctly installs the program to the chosen directory, but the Start Menu shortcuts point to the default program directory, not the chosen directory.

How to repeat:
From an administrator login, install to a directory different to the default. When complete, log off and back on as an ordinary user. Click the shortcut to the program in the Start Menu. An error message appears.

I verified that it points for the default location.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at
