MMM2018 Premium - pdf Help file link not working

MMM2018 Premium 25.1.0.59

Under Help, Documentation, PDF Manual, clicking on this opens a download screen on the internet. However, the download screen gives the following cryptic file name: manual_musicmaker_en--phYlG84gQwuGc34LwD.pdf.

The pdf works but where is it supposed to be placed and what is to be done so that clicking on PDF Manual under the Help menu opens the pdf file?

The normal place, as per previous versions, is to have the pdf file under the programs files:

C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\MAGIX\Music Maker\25

with a shortcut to the file under: C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Music Maker Premium\Documentation

Previously, this was done automatically by the installation program but is not with 2018. I tried changing the 2017 shortcut to point to the new file, but this did not work.

What should be the name of the Shortcut so that MMM finds it? Or is this a bug?

I included this in my latest ticket to Magix support.

Has anyone discovered a solution for this?
