Using $InstallDir$ in linkfolder_install [solved]

[SisterOfMercy]

The icon for the Total Commander shortcut doesn't quite work.


Apparently windows can't quite figure out where to look, because it's too dumb to think what %systemdrive% is..?

A part of the setup file:

Code: Alles auswählen

DefVar $InstallDir32$
DefVar $InstallDir64$

Set $InstallDir32$      = "%ProgramFiles32Dir%\totalcmd"
Set $InstallDir64$      = "%ProgramFiles64Dir%\totalcmd"

if ($INST_SystemType$ = "64 Bit System") 
	Message "Installing " + $ProductId$ + "..."
	comment "Start setup program"
	Winbatch_install_64
	Sub_check_exitcode
	comment "Copy files"
	Files_install_64 /64Bit
	comment "Patch Registry"
	Registry_install /64Bit
	Registry_install_AllProfiles /AllNTUserDats
	comment "Create shortcuts"
	LinkFolder_install_64
endif

[LinkFolder_install_64]
set_basefolder common_desktopdirectory
set_subfolder ""
set_link
	name: Total Commander 64 Bit
	target: "$InstallDir64$\Totalcmd.exe"
	parameters:
	working_dir: $InstallDir64$
	icon_file: "$InstallDir64$\Totalcmd.exe"
	icon_index: 0
end_link

Logfile is here:

Of course I can work aroud it, but it seems strange this won't work.

Provide an icon instead.

By the way where is %SystemDrive% comming from? $InstallDir64$ iterates to "C:\Program Files\totalcmd" according to your logs

I wouldn't know!

Thanks, this is a lot easier than an other workaround!

This gives the same result unfortunately

@$%$*$(&*(*&!&**!!!

totalcmd.exe does not exist in the 64-bit installation... It is totalcmd64.exe
Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
