I use Inno setup to install a batch file into the programs file folder. However the shortcut it makes in the start menu does not execute the batch file properly. The files runs but it skips some commands that are written into the batch file. If I navigate to the batch file location and launch it from there it executes all the commands in the batch file. Now I have experimented by manually creating shortcuts to the file and they all work. Even if I move that new shortcut to the programs files folder it works. It is just the shortcut made by Inno setup that does not work. I am using version 5.1.7 but the same thing happened with 5.1.6. anyone seen this before and know how to fix it. -- Newsgroup Trolls.
