I also had a somewhat similar task at hand and i had realized the following
-
Chnage id from StartMenuFolder to MyMenuFolder or . any other id
Directory String Identifier reference to Directory element where shortcut
is to be created. When nested under a Component element, this attribute's
value will default to the parent directory. Otherwise, this attribute is
required.
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="ProgramMenu">
<Directory Id="MyMenuFolder" Name="My SDK Name" />
</Directory>
Accordingly update other references.
