I think I have something working in my solution so thought I should create
a complete working samplefirst 3.0 here (in case it can actually help
someone with the same dilemma). It does exactly what I wanted it to -
creates shortcuts in a folder off All Programs pointing to the installed
components.
Please let me know if there is anything unpleasant about this approach.
Thanks.
