StrCpy $3 "$1:$2"

You're mistaken. StrCpy $3 "$1:$2" is the correct command. If $1 is A and $2 is B, the output to $3 will be A:B .

I use NSIS 2.46 and that version crop the colon. The output is AB.

Some variables are special ($instdir etc) and will strip things that are not valid paths, $3 is normal and strcpy will not strip anything.

ok, so how can I add colon with the variable $INSTDIR

like this:
$1 = localhost
$2 = 123
$INSTDIR\proxy.exe --address=localhost:123

That cannot be done!
Use nsExec, ExecWait or similar way to execute application with your desired parameters.

The manual clearly states how you can supply parameters to your shortcut.

Please check the link MSG provided. Command line arguments are specified as a separate argument for CreateShortCut.

yes, it resolved:

CreateShortCut \
"$SMPROGRAMS\Proxy.lnk" \
"$INSTDIR\proxy.exe" \
"--proxy-address=$4 --proxy-backend-addresses=$3" \
"$INSTDIR\proxy.ico" \
0

thanks a lot!
