New-InstallerShortcut - Error executing shortcuts

PowerShell Tools

Hello,

When I execute the shortcut, nothing happens.
The shortcut must be run on the workspace, but it is not indicated in the shortcut, in the ‘start in’ field.
Can you please fix this bug?

Hi @Hakmoon,

The working directory property has been added to New-InstallerShortcut per #865. More details are in the updated documentation here.
