CreateShortcut - Description Vs. Comment
hi.

on windows 2000 using NSIS v2.0b3, when you specify a description for the shortcut, it adds the string into the comment field for shortcut, but not the description field.

However, if you right click on an shortcut, and in the first tab, there's also a "Description". How can you set this? It's important because when you delete a shortcut windows prompts the user

"Are you sure you want to delete the shortcut to productname? This will not uninstall the program."

It's not clear how to override this value from the documentation.


VIAddVersionKey FileDescription "The description for your file."
