I do not see any reason why shortcut could not be created for .bat file.
Try using .ico file for icon, maybe Windows cannot extract icon #0 from .bat

Batch files don't have embedded icons (clearly) but the shortcut should still work, it would just have the default unknown doctype icon.
what is the code .ico file for icon? can you share me?
It's all in the manual: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.9.3.4Originally Posted by ilaiyaraja View Postwhat is the code .ico file for icon? can you share me?
(Hint: the "icon.file" parameter.)
