How to generate a URL Link on the desktop in Inno Setup

I am looking for the option to create a URL link with Inno Setup on the desktop.

I need to call my web application with some parameters. Till now I was only able to create a shortcut to my application folder an my program, but how to create a URL link?

I think it must be solved in the Icons section?

[Icons]
Name: "{group}\MyAPP"; Filename: "{app}\MYPROG.EXE"; WorkingDir: "{app}"
Name: "{group}\App Logs"; Filename:"{commonappdata}\Foo\App\logfiles"; \
    WorkingDir: "{commonappdata}\Foo\App\logfiles" 
Name: "{group}\Uninstall"; Filename: "{uninstallexe}"
Solution

  • Just set the Filename parameter to the URL:

    Filename (Required)
    ...
    In addition to file and folder names, URLs (web site addresses) may also be specified. When a URL is specified, Setup will create an "Internet Shortcut" (.url) file, and ignore the Parameters, WorkingDir, HotKey, and Comment parameters.

    Example:

    [Icons]
Name: "{autodesktop}\Web"; Filename: "https://www.example.com/"
