InnoSetup - Does not create any icon?

Question

I am expecting my installer to create shortcut icons on the Desktop.

It has created one of the icons:

But not the other two. What am I doing wrong here?

#define MyAppName "Stackoverflow.Camera"
#define MyAppVersion "20"
#define MyAppPublisher "Stackoverflow"
#define MyAppURL "https://www.stackoverflow.com/"
#define MyAppExeName "cam.exe"
#define SerialNumber "1234"

Warning: Setting the [Setup] section "OutputBaseFileName" to "setup" is not recommended, all executables named "setup.exe" are shimmed by Windows application compatibility to load additional DLLs, such as version.dll. These DLLs are loaded unsafely by Windows and can be hijacked. Use a different name, for example "mysetup".

Answer 1

As you can see in your log, only one icon was created:

[21:50:20.308]   -- Icon entry --
[21:50:20.313]   Dest filename: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Stackoverflow.Camera\Stackoverflow.Camera.lnk
[21:50:20.321]   Creating the icon.
[21:50:20.382]   Successfully created the icon.
[21:50:20.441]   Installation process succeeded.

The {group} constant relates to the Start Menu . In your comments you asked:

It looks like my code created a shortcut icon but without hotkey on it

That is correct. The icon in question is:

Name: "{group}\Stackoverflow.Camera"; Filename: "{app}\cam.exe"

It has no hot key. The other two are associated with a task . Specifically desktopicon . The help for tasks states:

This section is optional. It defines all of the user-customizable tasks Setup will perform during installation. These tasks appear as check boxes and radio buttons on the Select Additional Tasks wizard page .

By itself a task does nothing: it needs to be 'linked' to other installation entries.

You have linked it. So I am assuming that you are not ticking the task on the window during installation and that this is why those two icons are not created. Example:

As a side comment, did you see the warning about the name of your installer?
