help! QuickLaunch shortcut not being created

AnilPhilip · 13th January 2005, 18:29

Hello,
I am using HM NSIS Editor to create a simple script that just copies files with one link to run the program. The wizard creates a script which has this statement at line 51 (script attached) which fails to compile:
CreateDirectory ""

On line 52, I see this:
CreateShortCut "$QUICKLAUNCH.lnk" "$INSTDIR\Favor_Part_2.htm"

However the Start Menu only contains 2 items - company website, and uninstall.
Any help will be appreciated.
I realize this is not the HM NSIS site (there is no support), but since this is the recommended editor for NSIS, I am sure NSIS users will be knowledgeable.
thanks,
Anil Philip

$QUAKLAUNCH is the path to the Quick Launch folder, not the name/path of your link!

You should do something like this:
"$QUICKLAUNCH\My App.lnk"
