Need help from Inno Setup gurus

Shouldn't you have said desktop icon listed in the [Icons] section?

You can simply use:

IconFilename: "{app}\myicon.ico"

to change the icon used for such an icon.

kryathaba, you could (re)start with a fresh script generated from the wizard, that gives you all this stuff by default...
Then add the extra files you need to add, and don't be shy to use an editor like InnoIDE or ISTool (that one is going off-line right about now) to aid in the setting of 'fancy' features like icons etc.
And don't forget to add the .ico files in the [Files] section.

As said earlier, the newsgroups are quite helpful, but we expect you to have done at least a little homework...

I find, with a few exceptions, that people on this site respond more quickly and with less chastisement in their tone, and that it saves me time.  DC is like having a bunch of friends who are experts.  Instead of me digging and slogging through dry subject matter, 99.9% of which doesn't pertain, I can get the answer quickly and with little time/energy expenditure.


Thanks for pointing me to those tools :)

Eureka!

See, it isn't that hard :D

I'm not sure if putting the version number in the shortcut would be that handy, you would have to clean that up with every upgrade you publish (deleting the .lnk file of that name using [InstallDelete]), but also cater for in your script in any future release, might someone skip/miss one of your in-between updates.
