Of course, it does. Here is what you need to do (something like that, anyway):
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" .. >
<Component ... >
<File ... >
<Shortcut Id=".." Directory="StartupFolder" ...>
<Icon ... />
</Shortcut>
</File>
</Component>
</Directory>
<!-- ADD THIS -->
<Directory Id="StartupFolder" ...>
<Directory Id="MyShortcutFolder" ... />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>

Subject: [WiX-users] Howto add shortcut to startup menu
I am looking for a way to add shortcut to the startup menu for the current
user.
I tried:
<Shortcut Id="StartupShortcut" Directory="StartupFolder" ...'/>
however I got "Unresolved reference to symbol 'Directory:StartupFolder'"
from light.exe
It seems my wix-2.0.5325 does not support "StartupFolder" directory
predefined name.
Any hints howto solve the problem?
Upgrading to wix 3-x is currently not an option for me.
