How can I make default a checkmark in the line "Don't create a Start Menu folder" -Inno Setup-

Question

I use Inno Setup as extractor for my Portable software (Windows). I want in the line "Do not create a Start Menu folder" to be checked by default, so that if the user wants a folder in the start menu he must uncheck the check box. Thanks for your time and help, Alexei

Answer 1

Programatically check the respective checkbox component (WizardForm.NoIconsCheck).

You should do it on fresh installs only. For upgrades/reinstalls, you should keep the previous user selection (more so, now that Inno Setup does not even show the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page for reinstalls).

procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
  if not IsUpgrade then
    WizardForm.NoIconsCheck.Checked := True;
end;

For the IsUpgrade function, see my answer to
Can Inno Setup respond differently to a new install and an update?
