How can I make default a checkmark in the line "Don't create a Start Menu folder" -Inno Setup-

Question

I use Inno Setup as extractor for my Portable software (Windows). I want in the line "Do not create a Start Menu folder" to be checked by default, so that if the user wants a folder in the start menu he must uncheck the check box. Thanks for your time and help, Alexei

Programatically check the respective checkbox component (WizardForm.NoIconsCheck).

You should do it on fresh installs only. For upgrades/reinstalls, you should keep the previous user selection (more so, now that Inno Setup does not even show the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page for reinstalls).

procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
  if not IsUpgrade then
    WizardForm.NoIconsCheck.Checked := True;
end;

For the IsUpgrade function, see my answer to
Can Inno Setup respond differently to a new install and an update?

You are welcome. Though on Stack Overflow, we thank by [accepting the answer](//stackoverflow.com/help/someone-answers). — Martin Prikryl, Mar 19 '19 at 06:15
