Inno supports Pascal scripting for just about any problem not handled automatically by the built-in commands. You could write functions in a [Code] section that generate the name at runtime, based on whether or not any icons already exist with the base name or even querying the user for the name to use.
I'm actually not 100% clear about your requirements but I am 100% sure Pascal scripting is the solution to your problem. There isn't anything you can't do, esp. considering you can use automation and the whole nine yards in Pascal script. See the CodeAutomation.iss example for inspiration. It shows how to install a SQL database, adjust Windows firewall, install a virtual directory for IIS, and creating XML documents, and automating Word...all in about 300 lines of code, and all using various ActiveX objects available on the system. I bet it can create dynamically named icons on the user desktop using the file system object... just may need to do some research and steal administrative examples from a VBScript or WSH resource. - Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Frank Cazabon > Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 8:25 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: INNO > > Hi Sytze, > > my guess is that you'll need a different AppId and shortcut name for > each icon.
