install program

[James Bott]

Hua,

>Just a FYI, all {app} in my scripts have quotes and so far seems to produce what's wanted (Including the Start In field.

Thanks for that.

Two things come to mind. Either app has not been defined for some reason, or maybe it is a probloem with the OS.

Harvey, are you running Vista?

Hello hag,

I use Inno Setup with ISTool.
Did you try ISTool?
Regards,
Otto

What is ISTool, and why was it created?
Jordan Russell has created a fantastic setup compiler that creates setups that can match most of the commercial installers on the market. This program is called Inno Setup, and is freeware for both commercial and private developers. If there is a disadvantage to Inno Setup, it would be that you will have to manually create the setup scripts. The format is fairly simple, but personally I have problems remembering all the options and parameters, and the meaning of them all. So that is why I decided to create ISTool, which displays all this information visually, and has context sensitive help for all parameters and options.
ISTool is not a complete package for creating installations. It is merely an addition to Inno Setup, and requires that Inno Setup is installed to function properly.

Harvey,

You are missing the WorkingDir: clause on this line:

Name: "{commondesktop}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"; Tasks: desktopicon

This is the line that creates the desktop shortcut.

I also note that you have the EXE listed twice in the Files section. This is unrelated to the shortcut problem.

Regards,
James

[hag]

James and all it is working now. The line of code as indicated by james was the problem.

Thanks..
