Although I set icons for both Desktop and Startup shortcuts as
Or
but it always set a blank icon. How to resolve the isue? There procedure to set icon is not mentioned in the Documentation.
Moreover I want to run my program exe as "RUNASADMIN" and for that I add a registry key as
Code: Select all
Root: "HKLM";
Subkey: "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\";
ValueType: String;
ValueName: "<AppName>\MyExe.exe"; ValueData: "RUNASADMIN";
But that is also not working.
Can anyone please help on that two topics? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
what icon index are you using for the "<installpath>\MyExe.exe" configuration?

Thank you Soner. I have resolved Issue by set all icon index to '0'. Now It works like a charm.
Just one more help I need.
I set to my installed exe to run as admin. For that I set a registry value like
Code: Select all
Root: "HKLM"; Subkey: "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\";
ValueName: "<AppName>\MyEXE.exe"; ValueData: "RUNASADMIN";
It is not working. Am I doing something wrong? Please suggest.

Hello,
normally you would configure your executable manifest file to make it only run in administrator mode. What does your manifest file look like?

Hi,
I too am interested in having the end user run the app in admin role. I'm new to installForge, and am unsure where the manifest file is.
Please clarify. I'm using version 1.3.1

You should try <InstallPath> instead of <AppName>:
Code: Select all
ValueName: "<InstallPath>\MyExe.exe";
Or is there a special reason for using <AppName>?
