参考文档: How To: Create a Shortcut on the Start Menu,How To: Create an Uninstall Shortcut
制作的安装程序安装后,都要在开始菜单上生成一个应用程序的菜单,通常包括调用应用程序的快速入口和卸载应用程序项。下面取一个例子来看:

上面例子中开始菜单项的内容是这一段:
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
<Directory Id="MinimalStartMenuFolder" Name="Minimal">
<Component Id="StartMenuFolder" Guid="B3AEC4C4-3F8E-4865-B87A-B750533776B5" >
<Shortcut Id="ApplicationStartMenuShortcut"
Name="Minimal Test" Target="[INSTALLLOCATION]payload.txt"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION"/>
<Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
Name="Uninstall Minimal"
Description="Uninstalls My Application"
Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe"
Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="ApplicationProgramsFolder" On="uninstall"/>
<RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Microsoft\MyApplicationName" Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
开始菜单项和要安装的应用程序要分开放在不同的Directory里面,ProgramMenuFolder是标准的Windows开始菜单,第二个Directory将是在windows开始菜单下创建的一个菜单项,我们把它命名
为Minimal,菜单的快捷方式包括三个元素:一个是Component 元素是WiX安装元素的原子单位,Component元素下的Shortcut就是快捷菜单项了,RemoveFolder 元素保证在卸载应用程序的时候
做相关的清理工作。上面的例子中有两个快捷方式,一个是Minimal Test,另一个是Uninstall Minimal,这两个就是Windows开始菜单中所看到的菜单项了。
Windows Installer System64Folder 属性在32位的机器上被解析为System32 目录,在64位的机器上被解析为 SysWow64 目录.
