Qt Installer Framework : Create shortcut on the desktop - qt

Question

I use Qt Installer framework 1.5
After the installation, I would like to add a shortcut on the desktop.
In my file installscript.qs, I tried :
Component.prototype.createOperationsForPath = function()
{
if (installer.value("os") === "win")
{
try {
component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "#TargetDir#/App.exe", "#DesktopDir#/App.lnk");
}
catch (e) {
print(e);
}
}
}
But it doesn't work, the shortcut isn't created and I don't have any error messages.
The documentation on Internet is really light.
Any idea ?
Thank you

Try this. It's working for me.
Component.prototype.createOperations = function()
{
try {
// call the base create operations function
component.createOperations();
if (installer.value("os") == "win") {
try {
var userProfile = installer.environmentVariable("USERPROFILE");
installer.setValue("UserProfile", userProfile);
component.addOperation("CreateShortcut", "#TargetDir#\\MiamPlayer.exe", "#UserProfile#\\Desktop\\MiamPlayer.lnk");
} catch (e) {
// Do nothing if key doesn't exist
}
}
} catch (e) {
print(e);
}
}

I know this answer comes very late, but i hope it can help other users:
(Qt 5.13)
component.addOperation("CreateShortcut",
"#TargetDir#/App.exe",// target
"#DesktopDir#/App.lnk",// link-path
"workingDirectory=#TargetDir#",// working-dir
"iconPath=#TargetDir#/App.exe", "iconId=0",// icon
"description=Start App");// description
