Inno Setup 6.2.0: Folder structure in the startmenu

[Dipl.-Ing. C. Pehle]

Hello,

just I'm testing Inno setup.

I want to build a structure in the startmenu like this:

Company
    Product1
        Link to Program
    Product2
        Link to Program

I tried this (and other):

[Icons]
Name: "{autoprograms}\{#MyStartMenuFolder}\{#MyProd1Name}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"; IconFilename: "{app}\MyIcon_32_32px.ico"

Name: "{autoprograms}\{#MyStartMenuFolder}\{#MyProd2Name}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"; IconFilename: "{app}\MyIcon_32_32px.ico"

It's not working, no startmenu entries are generated. Can someone help?

Setup is running with admin mode under MS-Win7 and MS-Win10.

Best regards

Christian

Why have two shortcuts to the same executable?

`"{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"`

Also, run your installer with logging enabled and review your log to see what it tells you.

And keep in mind that Windows 10 doesn't allow nested folders in Start Menu.

What is the value of the DefaultGroupName item in the [Setup] section?

Try setting it to DefaultDirName={ autoprograms}\Company

Then use:

[Icons]

Name: "{group}\{#MyProd1Name}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"; IconFilename: "{app}\MyIcon_32_32px.ico"

Oops - I missed the important part:

DefaultGroupName=Company

You want *only* that DefaultGroupName -- do NOT use {autoprograms} in
DefaultDirName.

Thanks for clarifying that. I realized I made an error :) Hopefully, the OP got sent in the correct direction...
