Introduction
It's a frequently asked question how to create internet shortcuts. So, i've written an easy to use macro, doing this for you with a syntax like CreateShortcut. Also, there's a function working the same way.
The Macro
Source
!macro CreateInternetShortcut FILENAME URL ICONFILE ICONINDEX WriteINIStr "${FILENAME}.url" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "${URL}" WriteINIStr "${FILENAME}.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconFile" "${ICONFILE}" WriteINIStr "${FILENAME}.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconIndex" "${ICONINDEX}" !macroend
Example Usage
!insertmacro CreateInternetShortcut \ "$STARTMENU\NSIS homepage" \ "http://www.nsis.sf.net" \ "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico" "0"
Note: "FILENAME" should contain absolute path-information, if not, it will create the shortcut relative to the current "$OUTDIR".
The Function
Source
(doing just the same as the macro does)
Function CreateInternetShortcut # store the vars and get the settings Exch $3 ; the iconindex Exch Exch $2 ; the iconfile Exch 3 Exch $1 ; the url Exch 4 Exch $0 ; the filename (including path) # create the shortcut WriteINIStr "$0.url" "InternetShortcut" "URL" "$1" WriteINIStr "$0.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconFile" "$2" WriteINIStr "$0.url" "InternetShortcut" "IconIndex" "$3" # restore the used vars Pop $0 Pop $3 Pop $2 Pop $1 FunctionEnd
Example Usage
Push "$STARTMENU\NSIS homepage" Push "http://www.nsis.sf.net" Push "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico" Push "0" Call CreateInternetShortcut
Feedback
Any suggestions, feature requests or even bug reports? Feel free to send me an email or a private message.
Please post any other question, e.g. about usage and customization at the NSIS forums. Remember: You're not alone ...
