Start menu folder as a subdirectory

I want to add a shortcut to my program in the start menu as follows:

MyAppPublisher\MyAppName\MyAppName

I have this in my script:

DefaultGroupName={#MyAppPublisher}
Name: "{group}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"

But the start menu folder is always:

MyAppName\MyAppName

Any ideas?

Solution

  • It's as easy as specifying this path in the Name parameter of the entry in the [Icons] section. Your current script creates a shortcut like MyAppPublisher\MyAppName, this one will do what you need:

    #define MyAppName "MyAppName"
#define MyAppExeName "MyProg.exe"
#define MyAppPublisher "MyAppPublisher"

[Setup]
AppName={#MyAppName}
AppVersion=1.5
DefaultDirName={pf}\My Program
DefaultGroupName={#MyAppPublisher}
OutputDir=userdocs:Inno Setup Examples Output

[Files]
Source: "{#MyAppExeName}"; DestDir: "{app}"

[Icons]
; notice the full path to the created shortcut, {group} is taken from the Select
; Start Menu Folder page edit box (if shown), which is by default taken from the
; DefaultGroupName directive value; this start menu folder path is then followed
; by the tail of the shortcut path
Name: "{group}\{#MyAppName}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"
