Open folder/program
This may have been asked before and the search came up with to much and being specific wont find anything probably, how would I:
add a check box to execute a program on close
and
add a check bow to open a folder
please provide exact code if you can, im kinda new at this ;)
See if this helps:
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME "$INSTDIR\index.htm"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_TEXT "&Start ${PRODUCT_NAME}"
;!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_NOTCHECKED
or, for a function:
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_FUNCTION "post_install"
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_TEXT "&Start ${PRODUCT_NAME}"
;!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_SHOWREADME_NOTCHECKED
For both:
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
A function would be:
Function post_install
ExecShell open "$INSTDIR\help\readme.rtf"
FunctionEnd
Good luck!
ps:
This thread might have an answer regarding 2 checkboxes:

Sorry its long, where would I put it? And I notice there are a few header errors ;)
One more thing, how can i delete all of the files i installed
C:\Program Files\HQubed\The Fro Icon Pack
I want to delete the folder "The Fro Icon Pack" and all of its contents and delete
"The Fro Icon Pack" but not HQubed (in either) on the start menu, ty in advance.
You put it where the MUI readme says you should put it, which is:
Page Settings apply to a single page and should be set before inserting a page macro. If you have multiple pages of one type and you want to set a setting for all them, put the setting before each page macro.To delete a directory use RMDir.
This is ticking me off to no end, and im sorry this is probably gonna get anoying

How to i delete the start menu folder ...\The Fro Icon Pack (but not its parent)
And what is the code for the rm dir thing.
Once I get this I shouldnt have any more questions.
The code you've got there is correct, assuming it's an exact copy from the start menu example. If it doesn't work, you've probably got a problem in the code that writes the start menu path to the registry at installation time. Attach (don't just paste it in the message, it's hard to read) the entire script so the problem can be spotted.
