You should be using $DESKTOP for the desktop path.
Additionally, by using SetShellVarContext all, you can ensure that it is installed for all users, otherwise use SetShellVarContext current, if you want it installed on the current user only.

I use this code,but it still creates error desktop shortcut
it will be work good under xp,but could not under Vista.



SetShellVarContext current

CreateShortCut "$0\vistaSCTest.lnk" "$INSTDIR\test.exe
