  Hi,
  
  I am developing a VSPackage in VS 2008 (C#).
  
  I am using WiX to create MSI for my package. 
  My package is getting installed under program files folder.
  I want to have a shortcut created (**only for windows version other then windows-8**) my package which should show up in "Start".
  How can i achieve this? Can any one help me with the steps to do this?
  I am not want to create shortcut for windows-8 OS.
  
       <?if VersionNT = 602?>
             <?define createShortcut=false?>
       <?else?>
             <?define createShortcut=true?>
       <?endif?>
  
  
  <Component Id="xyz.exe" Guid="*" Win64="no">
            <?if $(var.createShortcut)=true ?>
              <File Id="abc.exe" Source="$(var.BuildFolder)\xyz.exe" KeyPath="yes" Compressed ="yes">
                <Shortcut Id="ABC_Shortcut" Name="JKL" Directory="SxSProgramMenuFolder" Advertise="no" WorkingDirectory="Abc.xyz" />
              </File>
            <?else?>
            <File Id="xyz.exe" Source="$(var.BFolder)\xyz.exe" KeyPath="yes" Compressed ="yes">                       
            </File>
            <?endif?>
          </Component>
