    Question Inno Setup Desktop Icons

    Anyone remember how to install a desktop icon for all users rather than just for the user installing the app?

    I think:

    Name: {commondesktop}\My App; Filename: {app}\myapp.exe; Components: Application; Tasks: desktopicon; IconIndex: 0

    Something that may be on intrest/use; a copy&paste from the readme :

    {group}
    The path to the Start Menu folder, as selected by the user on Setup's Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. On Windows NT, this folder is always created under the All Users profile unless the user installing the application does not have administrative privileges, in which case it is created on the user's profile.
    {sendto}
    The path to the current user's Send To folder. (There is no common Send To folder.)

    {userappdata} & {commonappdata}
    The path to the Application Data folder.
    {userdesktop} & {commondesktop} *
    The path to the desktop folder. It's recommended that desktop shortcuts be placed in {userdesktop}.
    {userdocs} & {commondocs}
    The path to the My Documents folder (or on NT 4.0, the Personal folder).
    {userfavorites} & {commonfavorites}
    The path to the Favorites folder. Usage of these constants requires a MinVersion setting of at least "
    4.1, 4". Currently only Windows 2000, Me, and later support {commonfavorites}; if used on previous Windows versions, it will translate to the same directory as {userfavorites}.

    {userprograms} & {commonprograms} *
    The path to the Programs folder on the Start Menu.
    {userstartmenu} & {commonstartmenu} *
    The path to the top level of the Start Menu.
    {userstartup} & {commonstartup} *
    The path to the Startup folder on the Start Menu.
    {usertemplates} & {commontemplates}
    The path to the Templates folder. Currently only Windows 2000, Me, and later support {commontemplates}; if used on previous Windows versions, it will translate to the same directory as {usertemplates}.
