When my executable name contains a dot, no shortcuts are created. No error reported in SquirrelSetup.log. I have a single exe that is not Squirrel-Aware.

Some time ago I tried Squirrel.Windows and had a lot of problems, today I gave it another go thinking most issues might be solved by now.

Still couldn't get it working, whatever I tried.... there was no shortcut and the application also wasn't started.

Luckily I found this issue, and tried to use an executable without a dot in it.
Maybe there is a good reason for it, as long as there is no fix it would really help if this is documented somewhere.

@JVimes Thanks for reporting this, without your issue I would probably still be trying to make it work.

Added a pull-request #536 for the documentation, just in case..

Glad it helped! ☺ I lost hours to this, myself. Definitely needs to be documented until fixed.

I have an SquirrelAware App that contains dots in the exe and it is working fine.

This also causes issues elsewhere. An app, for example, titled Foo.Bar.Baz, will have the folder in the user's profile created as Foo. Additionally, no shortcuts are created.

Heavily related to #609
