Games to Vista Game explorer with Inno Setup
- by Kraemer
Ok, i'm trying to force my inno setup installer to add a shortcut of my game to Vista Games Explorer.
Theoretically this should do the trick:
[Files]
Source: "GameuxInstallHelper.dll"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion overwritereadonly;
[Registry]
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\dir\dir; Flags: uninsdeletekeyifempty
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\dir\dir; ValueName: Path; ValueType: String; ValueData: {app}; Flags: uninsdeletekey

TGUID = record

end;

end else
begin
Result := TRUE
end;
end;
procedure CurUninstallStepChanged(CurUninstallStep: TUninstallStep);
begin
if CurUninstallStep = usUninstall then
begin
if GetWindowsVersion shr 24 > 5 then
begin
RetrieveGUIDForApplication(ExpandConstant('{app}\AWL_Release.dll'), GUID);
RemoveFromGameExplorer(GUID);
RemoveTasks(GUID);
UnloadDll(ExpandConstant('{app}\GameuxInstallHelper.dll'));
end;
end;
if CurUninstallStep = usPostUninstall then
begin
if MsgBox(ExpandConstant('{cm:removemsg}'), mbConfirmation, MB_YESNO)=IDYES then
begin
DelTree(ExpandConstant('{app}'), True, True, True);
end;
end;
end;
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
begin
if GetWindowsVersion shr 24 > 5 then
begin
if CurStep = ssInstall then
GenerateGUID(GUID);
if CurStep = ssPostInstall then
begin
AddToGameExplorer(ExpandConstant('{app}\AWL_Release.dll'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), Current, GUID);
CreateTask(3, GUID, PlayTask, 0, ExpandConstant('{cm:taskentry}'), ExpandConstant('{app}\executable.exe'), '');
CreateTask(3, GUID, 1, 0, 'Game Website', 'http://www.gamewebsite.com/', '');
end;
end;
end;
The installer works just fine, but it doesn't place a shortcut of my game to Games explorer. Since i believe that the problem is on the binary file i guess for that part i should ask for some help.
So, can anyone please give me a hand here?
