Not showing at start menu in windows.

App installs fine and is also working from "C:\Program Files (x86)\librespritestuff". It also shows at "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features" but application icon is not showing in start menu.

I don't use windows but you could try this:

1. press "windows key + R"
2. write " %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" then press enter, a window should pop up, let that window open.
3. open a new window and go to"C:\Program Files (x86)\librespritestuff"
4. copy libresprite.exe and paste it as shortcut on" %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs".
5. restart your pc to apply changes.

ya thanks for suggestions. i did that but i think it should work automatically like every other window application.

I don't have much Windows experience either, but I suppose this should be done by the installer..?

I also don't have much experience with windows. Application is installed but does not appear in all apps menu. I can search it or uninstall it and i can use it from installation path but app does not appear at all app menu until i manually add.

The shortcut is being created by the installer (as it should be), it is just being created in the same folder as the application (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\librespritestuff\libresprite.exe - Shortcut).

It also will not work anyways because rather than pointing to the application C:\Program Files (x86)\librespritestuff\libresprite.exe, it points to C:\Users\mints\LibreSprite\build\bin\libresprite.exe.

The issue lies here: https://github.com/LibreSprite/LibreSprite/blob/73f138ff13acdd85017e1f6d2ed44d4b9ff6dca3/installer/installer.iss#L44-L46

I believe, based on this part of Inno Setup's documentation, you are missing WorkingDir parameters on both lines. I think a possible solution would be to replace those lines with:

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

Note the installer which proposes installation into the folder librespritestuff is not the innosetup installer but a proprietary installer (afaik) the innotsetup installer is currently not included in any downloads (not sure why)
