.NET menu shortcut

I added the .net component to my XPE build and the
shortcut to the .net wizard and Configuration tools that
gets created on the start menu is screwed.

The name of the shortcut that gets created by .net is all
Unicode charters.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I would like to change the name to human readable form
automatically.

I can't use the rename command to change the name because
the charters are Unicode.
 
Dear Snaz,

.Net shortcut in start menu is Japanese.

If you don't include Japanese language support, it will show "¤f¤f¤f¤f".

However, I have no idea why you can't rename it.

Because I always can rename it manully.

If you take a look at http://makeashorterlink.com/?J1D422758 this is a known
problem.

To resolve it.....

If you open up this file (on your development machine), using notepad:

C:\Windows Embedded
Data\Repositories\{41B0394B-74D8-4CFD-86C0-BDCE45CE4728}\831558_netfx.inf

and do a search for the word "SubDir" (without the quotes!), you'll see
where it's getting the name for that directory from. I believe it should
read:

SubDir=Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

If you change it (NOTE: there are two instances of this key), and then save
your changes, this should make it work properly on any future builds.
