Description
Here is how to launch a shortcut at the end of an install (in the MUI). You may need this if you need to use a specific working directory and don't want to modify the MUI.
Usage
So suppose I want to launch "C:\User\test.lnk".
Before calling the macro for finish, you must define the run variables. If you define
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "C:\User\test.lnk"
it will not work, because it is not an application.
You must set MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN empty, and use a function instead.
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN !define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_TEXT "Start a shortcut" !define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_FUNCTION "LaunchLink" !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH
You can then define the function and execute the link with ExecShell.
Function LaunchLink ExecShell "" "C:\User\test.lnk" FunctionEnd
