Ok I was able to work around the issue by manually editing the "WkDir" field in
the .msi shortcut table to TARGETDIR.
Also, thanks for building a relatively easy to use packager. Its been very
useful so far.

Subject: Re: [cx-freeze-users] bdist_msi breaks pyqt4 window icons, build does
not break window icons
If I install the .msi and start the app directly from the program folder the
window icon works ok. If I start through the start menu shortcut, the window
icon does not display.
Apparently starting the app from the start menu shortcut that was defined here:
GUI2Exe_Target_1 = Executable(
shortcutName = "App",
shortcutDir = "ProgramMenuFolder"
)
Is causing the working directory to default to the user's home directory,
instead of the app's installed directory. What is the recommended fix for this?

Hi,
Use InstEdit (or an equivalent MSI editor) to see what files are
missing. Compare that with your build directory and report back. If
that doesn't help, please generate a small script that demonstrates
the problem so I can build it myself and see if I get the same results
as you. Thanks.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
