I have been unable to come across any documentation on how the WiX CPack
generator can create start menu items. I'll need to create items both
for a few PDFs (documentation) and for an executable or two. Is this
supported, or do I need to write my own XML patch file and give that to WiX?
The WIX generator implements the generic CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES [1]
which like the name suggests is only for executables though.
I was pondering adding another installed file property [2] for the
creation of start menu / desktop shortcuts for convenience but for now
CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE [3] should work for non-executables.
