iPersistfile and innosetup 6

[Thierry Cornu]

Hello,

Same script work perfectly with Innosetup 5. 

With v6 I have an error when crating icon on c:\....\Desktop\xxx.lnk

iPersistFile::save 

Error 0x80070005

Accès interdit

Setup made without admin privileges.

What is the problem ? How to resolve it ?

Greatings,

Thierry

Hum, with V5, icons are created in user folder, with v6 in public folder... !? It is the same script...

Ok, found the solution in Revision history : "

• Change in default behavior: The "common" shell folder constants are no longer mapped to their "user" form if the installation is running in non administrative install mode. Instead they simply return the requested common directory. The list of affected "common" constants is: {commonappdata}, {commondesktop}, {commondocs}, {commonprograms}, {commonstartmenu}, {commonstartup}, and {commontemplates}."

So need to manually manage where icons are created, using IsAdminInstallMode support function

No, read the full release notes. Inno now properly supports per-user and system-wide install mode in the same installer, but you need to adjust your script (hint: look for {auto*} constants).

Yes, I think I have just to replace

Name: {commondesktop}\{code:IconName}; Filename: {app}\{#MyAppExeName}; IconFilename: {app}\logo.ico

with 

Name: {autodesktop}\{code:IconName}; Filename: {app}\{#MyAppExeName}; IconFilename: {app}\logo.ico
