Squirrel.windows: Destination and start in folders are wrong and icons are not shown.

Created on 14 Oct 2018  路  2Comments  路  Source: Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows

I am getting to the end of creating a new installation package for my Image Measurements tool. I thought it would be cool to use Squirel. Because it said better than click once. Now i created an installation exe package and it installs but the desktop and startmenu link files are not working properly. The destination folder is pointing to at exe file which is one step higher than the app one. Which is totally wrong. And the start in directory simply just looks malformed.

Destination:
C:\Users\ChristianAndersenAve\AppData\Local\ImageMeasurementApp\ImageMeasurement.exe

Start in:
istianAndersenAve\AppData\Local\ImageMeasurementApp\app-18.10.6TC:\Users\ChristianAndersenAve\AppData\Local\ImageM

And as a topping on the cake the application shortcuts do not have an icon.

Any ideas?

Same issue here.

Docs mention that shortcut should call C:\Users\kbailey\AppData\Local\MyApp\Update.exe --processStart MyApp.exe but it instead points to C:\Users\kbailey\AppData\Local\MyApp\MyApp.exe which does not exist at this level.

@christiandersen @squaredinfinity did you upgrade squirrel from one version to another? I had the same issue when migrating my applications from 1.4.0 to 1.9.1. Once on 1.9.1, the shortcut were ok after fixing them and installing other upgrades afterward.
