SetShellVarContext at runtime

I'm looking to give users of my program the choice of creating shortcuts under 'All Users' or just their user.

Some installers I've seen have a dedicated page for this where it offers choices of 'Everyone' & 'Just Me' - I'm sure you know what I'm getting at!

Anyway, I'm not so hot on making custom pages so I was going to settle with a simple MessageBox asking them how they'd like to proceed.

Section "Main Program Files" SecCore

  SectionIn 1 RO



  SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"

  File "DVDDecrypter.exe"

  File "ReadMe.txt"



  SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\Sounds"

  File "Sounds\Success.wav"

  File "Sounds\Error.wav"



  MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION "Would you like to create shortcuts for all users instead of just yourself?" IDYES ShortcutsAllUsers IDNO ShortcutsJustMe

  ShortcutsAllUsers:

    SetShellVarContext all

  ShortcutsJustMe:

    SetShellVarContext current

  ShortcutsConfigured:

    

  CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\DVD Decrypter"

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\DVD Decrypter\Uninstall.lnk" "$INSTDIR\uninstall.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\uninstall.exe" 0

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\DVD Decrypter\DVD Decrypter.lnk" "$INSTDIR\DVDDecrypter.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\DVDDecrypter.exe" 0

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\DVD Decrypter\DVD Decrypter Read Me.lnk" "$INSTDIR\ReadMe.txt" "" "$INSTDIR\ReadMe.txt" 0

SectionEnd

That's what I'd had in mind but it doesnt work. Has anyone already done what I'm trying to achieve?

Thanks in advance.

If "all users" is selected, you need to jump over the "current user" option:

ShortcutsAllUsers:

    SetShellVarContext all

    Goto MakeShortcuts

ShortcutsJustMe:

    SetShellVarContext current

MakeShortcuts:

    (insert your CreateShortcut commands here)

Wouldn't you know it would be something simple like that!

Next problem is that the $QUICKLAUNCH variable doesnt seem to goto the 'All Users' folder - but then I'm not sure if that folder exists / works like that anyway.

Many Thanks 🙂
