Specifying Help Shortcut In CAB INF File

The following entries from my INF file create the proper entries in
the Start Menu and in the Programs folder of the Start Menu, but the
shortcut in Windows\Help does not get created.

[Shortcuts]
Program Name,0,WA.exe,%CE11%
Program Name,0,WA.exe,%CE17%
Program Name,0,WA.htm,%CE2%\Help

Any ideas what might be going on?

I've forgotten why (e.g. too lazy to go back and read up on it), but I
always use separate shortcut specifications when different directories are
involved. For example,

[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles= ...the usual stuff...
CEShortcuts=Shortcuts,Shortcuts.Help

[Shortcuts]
%AppName%,0,WA.exe

[Shortcuts.Help]
%AppName%,0,WA.htm

[DestinationDirs]
Shortcuts=0,%CE2%\Start Menu
Shortcuts.Help=0,%CE2%\Help

hope this helps :-)
