    Thanks for the update Jason,

    I've taken a further look at our MECM Package and we use the following PS Script for the Start menu - not sure if this helps ?


    # Delete any user profile shortcut (for available installs in user context)

    # This MAY have no effect, but left in, for future development ...

    WriteLog("Removing any user profile Start Menu shortcut ....")

    $userdata = $env:APPDATA

    Remove-Item "$userdata\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Autodesk\Meshmixer.lnk" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    $userdesk = $env:USERPROFILE + "\Desktop"

    Remove-Item $userdesk\Meshmixer.lnk -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    WriteLog("Configuring Start Menu shortcut ....")

    # Create all users shortcuts

    $InstDir = "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Autodesk"

    if (!(test-path $InstDir)) {

    New-Item $InstDir -type directory

    }

    Copy-Item $PSScriptRoot\Meshmixer.lnk -Destination $InstDir

    WriteLog("Finised Meshmixer 3.5 Installation")

    #stop the transcript

    Start menu and desktop shortcuts are created in the user profile, which means they do not appear when running under the SYSTEM account.
