Problems with shortcuts. I want to create an icon shortcut on the desktop for my app and in the startmenu for the app and the Uninstall.exe.
I followed the instructions provided in https://docs.installforge.net/getting-started/quick-start-guide/#configuring-shortcuts . Icon file is <InstallPath ...

I'm working with Install Forge 1.4.4 (Windows 10).
The update check built by Install Forge (called from a python script) always worked fine.

Hi all,
similar problem:
Installation path problem: wrong path is constructed!

The default installtion path is set to

Installation path = <LocalApplicationData>\<AppName>

which works fine.

This works, thank you!

I want to build a setup.exe that could be run without admin privilege. possible?
main reason: when the user runs the setup as admin the <ApplicationData>\<AppName> is the admin path. is there a workaround?
we don´t need admin rights for running the app!
Thanks for a good solution!

Found a quick workaround:
in the InstallFOrge folder there is only an update.exe, so I ran this one, this produced th ERROR mentioned above.
When I started the ifbuilderenvx86.exe in bin, it worked fine...

Something similar happened to me (most likeli same reason);
ERROR: could not archive uninstaller

No idea. Same project file ran yesterday.
Thanks for a quick solution.
