Quick Lanch bar and Inno Setup v6

My installer started off years ago and thus has a Quick Launch bar task.

Name: "{userappdata}\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Public Talks"; \
Filename: "{app}\CommunityTalks.exe"; \
MinVersion: 4,4; \
Tasks: quicklaunchicon

When compiling this raises the warning:

Warning: The [Setup] section directive "PrivilegesRequired" is set to "admin" but per-user areas (HKCU,userappdata) are used by the script. Regardless of the version of Windows, if the installation is running in administrative install mode then you should be careful about making any per-user area changes: such changes may not achieve what you are intending. See the "UsedUserAreasWarning" topic in help file for more information.

How should we handle that?

Solution

  • Remove the "Quick Launch" toolbar functionality from your installer.

    No one is using that nowadays. The "Quick Launch" toolbar was removed in Windows 7 (2009).
