You should not even be considering doing this.

Re: [WiX-users] Can you create a shortcut that is Pinned to Taskbar in an install?
This sounds pretty harsh imho. :) I think it is indeed allowed to set *user* settings during a per-user installation and even All-Users or Default-User settings in a per-machine setting. If I remember correctly, Microsoft Office is using the Pinning feature in the 2010 version as well.

Re: [WiX-users] Can you create a shortcut that is Pinned to Taskbar in an install?
That talks about how to prevent pinning as well as how to control grouping. It isn't talking about how to make an application pinned.

Re: [WiX-users] Can you create a shortcut that is Pinned to Taskbar in an install?
They aren't using pinning, they are using the jump list capabilities. That's different. Besides, there was never a programmatic interface for adding to the quick launch items. It just happened that the backing store for those items was easy to reverse engineer.

[WiX-users] Can you create a shortcut that is Pinned to Taskbar in an install?
Since Microsoft have deprecated the QuickLaunch toolbar, is there a way to utilise it's replacement and add a shortcut to the 'Pinned to Taskbar' set as an option in an installer? I've tried simply adding a shortcut to where the pinned shortcuts are stored, but this is not successful - there must be more to it than this. Any thoughts?

That is a *user* area just like the quick launch bar was supposed to be. They've taken steps to make it harder to programmatically add anything to it because that is an area that the user controls, not you or your application.
