inno-setup - InnoSetup generates user desktop icon even with {commondesktop}

Question

I want to make an installer that will set desktop icons for all users. I use the following code:

[Icons]
Name: "{commondesktop}\{#MyAppName}"; Filename: "{app}\{#MyAppExeName}"; Tasks: desktopicon

commondektop is said to provide me with Public user desktop icon, but it creates one on my user desktop! Just as userdesktop does.
What is wrong here? I tried running it as administrator with the same result. Icon is truly on my desktop, I checked it via general properties of .lnk file.
Please let me know if some other piece of code is required.

Answer 1

看来其他人误解了你的问题。我有同样的问题，我的问题的原因是我的 .iss 中有以下内容：

PrivilegesRequired=lowest

在文档中，您可以看到：

• = 如果登录用户缺乏管理权限，或者如果 PrivilegesRequired 设置为最低，则此常量的“普通”形式映射到“用户”形式

我相信这意味着即使您以管理员身份运行安装程序，{commondesktop} 也会因为 PrivilegesRequired 而映射到用户桌面。

Answer 2

{commondesktop}适用于所有用户。这里任何用户都可以看到其他用户图标。{userdesktop}用于在正在安装您的应用程序的用户的桌面上放置图标，因此{commondesktop}也会在其中放置图标{userdesktop}，但{userdesktop}永远不会在其中放置图标{commondesktop}（任何用户都可以看到）。
