Uninstaller produces error message

[halwade]

When I run Uninstaller, I get the error message: "Invalid startup mode: archive filename." My Unstaller file settings: Uninstall file folder: %AppFolder%\Uninstall. Configuration filename\uninstall.xml. Executable Path and Filename: %AppFolder%\uninstall.exe. I want to clear this up before distributing this app to my customers.

PROBLEM RESOLVED. (I though there was some way in this forum to check "Problem Resolved" but I cannot find that.)

For my commercial app, I want the setup program to place an icon on the user's desktop. I have done that before, but have forgotten how. Please help me on this one. Thanks

In the file view, double click the application executable to open the Properties dialog, then go to the Shortcuts tab, and make your choices there.



Another possibility is the creation via scripting in the On Post Install event, with Shell.CreateShortcut(). In this case, you need to add a matching Shell.DeleteShortcut() in the On Pre Uninstall event script as well.
