Desktop Shotcuts

Please forgive my ignorance, especially if this is a really stupid question.

How do I conditionally create desktop shortcuts for an installed application?


Thanks,
Ben

Hi!

To create a shortcut on the desktop you should use:

CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\myApp.lnk" "$INSTDIR\myApp.exe"

If you want it to be conditional write:

StrCmp $1 "create shortcut" 0 dontCreate

    CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\myApp.lnk" "$INSTDIR\myApp.exe"

dontCreate:

You could have understood all of the above from the documentation.

Thanks, I was looking for the right thing, but the syntax I was using to look was wrong.
This is exactly what I needed.
