Try it yourself if it's not a nuisance..

RootFolderName\Setup.exe

you will see that there is this error in the registry...

Thanks in advance audiofeel for all time.
TRY CHANGING TO:
Code:
RegWriteStringValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{#AppName}_is1', 'DisplayIcon', ExpandConstant(AddBackslash('{app}\{#E1[60]}') + '{#E1[61]}') )

I confirm, problem solved Thanks to the string that Cesar82 gave me

This was the one I had set, and it was temporary of course...
Code:
ExpandConstant('{app}\{#E1[61]}')
This is the right one instead, thanks to Cesar82
Code:
ExpandConstant(AddBackslash('{app}\{#E1[60]}') + '{#E1[61]}')

I'm at a loss right now, but the setup doesn't create a desktop shortcut for me (and in the start menu the shortcut is simply named “.lnk”, i.e. without the name of the game before the “.lnk”).

I know I've done something wrong, maybe someone can help me out?

Code:
[Execs]
;Tile Caption|Exec Directory|Exec File|Shortcut Name/Action Name
AppExe1=Stardew Valley|Stardew Valley.exe
And I sometimes (not always) have the problem that I can't activate the AutoRun menu “immediately” (after clicking once), for example, so I have to click 4–5 times with the mouse before it works.

I have one more question: Is it possible to add arguments under “[Execs]”?
I have tried it, but it has no effect, the “Arguments” are not added to the desktop- / start menu shortcuts.

rename the file to a different name. for example, in "TEXIT.exe"

I have now found errors/problems:

1. on a (4K) UHD monitor the installer looks very compressed. Is there a scaling option in the script that can be activated? [Second image]
2. if I want to change the installation folder, click on another one and click on the normal folder again, it automatically adds the "AppName" after the "InstallDir" name. [First image]

Example, based on the picture: if I click on the folder "Intel" and then again on "Jak 2 HD", the installation folder reads "C:\Program Files\Jak 2 HD" (which would be correct) instead of "C:\Program Files\Jak 2 HD\Jak II: Renegade HD" (which is wrong, because "InstallDir" + "AppName" is used). Sometimes dots are simply inserted instead of "Program Files" (i.e. "C:\...\Jak 2 HD" instead of "C:\Program Files\Jak 2 HD") If you do not check this and click on "Ok" in the "Select Directory" window, the installer crashes (but I have not yet found out when the installer sets the "..." instead of "Program Files").

EDIT: Ah and when I use the uninstaller and click on e.g. the progress bar (although I don't think it matters where I click), I get an error message (but the program is [apparently still completely] uninstalled) (Third image).

Thank you for your help
