CreateShortCut Problem

I'm creating a set of start menu shortcuts, and they all create fine except for the shortcut that points to a folder. Even though it points to the correct path it will bring up a "Open with..." dialog box.

Here is the code:



 CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut"

 

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut\CableNut Adjuster.lnk" "$INSTDIR\adjuster.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\adjuster.exe" 0

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut\Readme.lnk" "$INSTDIR\Readme.url" "" "$INSTDIR\Readme.url" 0

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut\CableNut Forums.lnk" "$INSTDIR\CableNut Forums.url" "" "$INSTDIR\CableNut Forums.url" 0

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut\Donate.lnk" "$INSTDIR\Donate.url" "" "$INSTDIR\Donate.url" 0

  CreateShortCut '$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut\CCS.lnk' '$INSTDIR\ccs\' 

  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut\Uninstall CableNut.lnk" "$INSTDIR\uninst-cablenut.exe" "" "$INSTDIR\uninst-cablenut.exe" 0

Also I'm probably on some good drugs, but as I see in the v1.60 NSIS install file you can have text on the background part of the Installer, and mine does not show.

Thank You!

Try This:



CreateShortcut "$SMPROGRAMS\CableNut\CCS.lnk" \

               "$INSTDIR\CCS"

If that doesn't work, then reply.

"C:\ E:\Program Files\Cablenut\CCS"

So I guess that doesn't work either hmm...

hum that shortcut should work. this pulled straight from makensis.nsi



  CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\NSIS\NSIS Program Directory.lnk" \

                 "$INSTDIR"

Also to have the text show up just have a third option to BGGradient which is the text number.. it will use the text you put as caption i belive.
BGGradient 000000 308030 FFFFFF
