[CMake] CPack - installing non .exe and question on some variables

[David Cole]

Try something like this:
IF(WIN32)
  SET(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS "
  CreateShortCut \\\"$SMPROGRAMS\\\\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\\\\Batch
File.lnk\\\" \\\"$INSTDIR\\\\MyBatchFile.bat\\\"
  CreateShortCut \\\"$SMPROGRAMS\\\\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\\\\Project
ReadMe.lnk\\\" \\\"$INSTDIR\\\\README.html\\\"
")

  SET(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_UNINSTALL_COMMANDS "
  !insertmacro MUI_STARTMENU_GETFOLDER Application $MUI_TEMP
  Delete \\\"$SMPROGRAMS\\\\$MUI_TEMP\\\\Batch File.lnk\\\"
  Delete \\\"$SMPROGRAMS\\\\$MUI_TEMP\\\\Project ReadMe.lnk\\\"
")
ENDIF(WIN32)

INCLUDE(CPack)

Adjust the text to your liking... The names of the lnk files show up
in the Start menu structure. The names of files under $INSTDIR are
file names of things in your install tree.

I think the CPACK_NSIS_INSTALLED_ICON_NAME icon is the one that shows
up in the Add/Remove control panel...


HTH,
David
