 | How do I get Inno to place an icon on the desktop? I got it to put an icon on the setup executable. I do have it in the script (however, I'm not sure it's in the right place - it does pass through the compiler though,) and it does ask during the setup if I want to put the named icon on the desktop and/or to create a quick launch icon, but it does neither when it's finished installing the program.

| Sorry Charles... in my previous message, I meant to say "version 4" Inno
script.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world...
those who get binary and those who don't.

| I don't know what version of Inno you are using, but in a version Inno
script, this works for me:
[Icons]
; Application icon
Name: "{group}\DCP 04"; Filename: "{app}\DCP.exe"; WorkingDir: "{app}"
Name: "{userdesktop}\DCP 04"; Filename:"{app}\DCP.exe"; WorkingDir: "{app}"
It places an icon in the Program Group and on the user's desktop.

| Got it! Thanks! Now is there a way to set up a timer to pause the splash screen for a couple of seconds? It flashes by so quick that it's almost subliminal!

| I don't know about controlling the splash screen. I could never figure it
out. What I did in one app was use a regular form with a timer. I call
the form in the STARTUP.PRG for my app.
The user can either look at it for 3 or 4 seconds before it closes, or if
they are in a hurry, they can click the OK button and close the form
immediately. Seems to work pretty well.
If you would like, I can email the relevant code snippets to you. Let me
know.

| It will probably be tomorrow evening before I can get the code sent out.
It's sitting on a different computer right now.
In regards to lunch... yeah, we can do that. We'll talk further by email.
Also, just a friendly suggestion. Perhaps you don't have a problem with
spam, but it is generally considered wise to never post your true email
address on a newsgroup. Spammers scan newsgroups and harvest the email
addresses. Just disguise it so the robots don't recognize it. For
example, "grahamcp at journey dot com".

| Oh I have a problem with it all right. Everybody and their mother has it! I depend a lot on my ISP filtering out most of it. They usually stop about 100 or so a day. Thanks for the code (in advance.) Let me hear from you.
