      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.
