NSIS不能删除其打包的程序桌面快捷方式的解决方式

实质上就是权限的问题，可以模仿如下方式处理

Windows Vista and Windows 7 automatically identifies installer executables, including NSIS installers, and asks the user permission to run them with elevated privileges. Automatic detection, however, comes with the price of automatic backward compatibility tricks. One of which is automatic relocation of shortcuts created in the Start Menu to All Users' Start Menu.

To workaround this, use the new RequestExecutionLevel command or create the shortcuts in All Users' folders in the first place, using SetShellVarContext.

OutFile vista.exe
Name Vista
 
RequestExecutionLevel user
 
Section
  CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test"
  CreateShortcut  "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test/hello.lnk" $WINDIR/notepad.exe
  WriteUninstaller $EXEDIR/uninst.exe
SectionEnd
 
Section uninstall
  Delete "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test/hello.lnk"
  RMDir "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test"
SectionEnd

OutFile vista.exe
Name Vista
 
RequestExecutionLevel admin #NOTE: You still need to check user rights with UserInfo!
 
Function .onInit
#TODO: call UserInfo plugin to make sure user is admin
FunctionEnd
 
Section
  SetShellVarContext all
  CreateDirectory "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test"
  CreateShortcut  "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test/hello.lnk" $WINDIR/notepad.exe
  WriteUninstaller $EXEDIR/uninst.exe
SectionEnd
 
Section uninstall
  SetShellVarContext all
  Delete "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test/hello.lnk"
  RMDir "$SMPROGRAMS/Vista Test"
SectionEnd
