I translated this article and Tim Golden’s to Spanish and published the all-in-one version in my blog

Hope this will be valuable for native Spanish speakers

I just followed the directions on Inno’s website to get the links to work. Note that I created an executable using GUI2Exe first. You can check all that out in this tutorial I wrote:

Hope that helps!

I use Inno Setup to create an installer for my applications. It’s quite handy.

Thanks for the links. I’m pretty sure those weren’t there when I originally came up with these methods as I Googled all over and visit your site quite a bit.

@ Steven,

I actually did think that line sounded weird when I wrote it. I’ve updated the text some to make it better and also added a note about concatenation as an alternative.

Thanks for the feedback, you guys!

Just a small comment: you say (first code explanation) \and then use the os module’s path function to join the path and the name of the url shortcut\

Probably should be \and then use the os.path module’s join() function\

Since this is Windows-only, you probably could just write (in the code) path = desktop + \\myNeatWebsite.url\
