Startup doesn't show icons

Hello,

I am using NSIS to make an installer for a simple program and I need to start on boot, but whenever I add this option it doesn't load images or translations.

Here's how it shows up on startup:


Here's how it should appear:


Could it be something about the NSIS installer or should I look into the program?

This sound like a problem with the current/working directory. The problem is with the application itself but you can probably work around it in NSIS if you don't care about problems when a user manually starts this application.

If you are creating a .lnk in the startup folder make sure to use SetOutPath with the correct directory before CreateShortcut...

Use SetOutPath with CreateShortcut as Anders said, but CreateShortcut has own parameter for working directory -> use it.

CreateShortCut uses $OUTDIR for the working directory and does not have any explicit working directory argument. It does now have a /NoWorkingDir switch to not set any working directory (NSIS 3).

Heh my bad. Yes, /NoWorkingDir actually does exactly the opposite thing.
