 Another postinstall task that packages might do is to create shortcuts that will be available to launch a certain command. As its is the case for the textreplace executable, there is an utility binary xxmklink.exe that is available in the installer (part of the msvcrt package). By typing xxmklink, you can see all the options supported by this utility. Here are some examples on how it can be used in a post install file:
 {{{
-  mkdir "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Programs\OSGeo4W"
-  mkdir "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Programs\OSGeo4W\Apache"
-  xxmklink "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Programs\OSGeo4W\Apache\OSGEO4W-Apache-Install.lnk" 
+  mkdir "%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%"
+  mkdir "%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Apache"
+  xxmklink "%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Apache\OSGEO4W-Apache-Install.lnk" 
     %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\Apache\bin\httpd.exe " -k install -n \"Apache OSGEO4W Web Server\""
 }}}
 Using icons:
 {{{
-  xxmklink "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Programs\OSGeo4W\ttt.lnk" cmd.exe "" . "my_desc" 1 
-    "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\OSGeo4W.ico"
+  xxmklink "%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\ttt.lnk" cmd.exe "" . "my_desc" 1 "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\OSGeo4W.ico"
 }}}
