[SOLVED] Inno Setup

I hope this question does't violate the guidelines, but I think a question regarding the installation of an app is appropriate. To my question: I created a program in C# for PC and want to provide an installer for it. I thought InnoSetup would do the job best. So far so good, but I ecountered a problem. I added three files that should be installed too. One HTML, one CSS and one ICO. Its the documentation. In InnoSetup I can create startmenu folders. I did so and installed it on my own machine. But only the .exe and the unistall file shortcuts were placed in the startmenu. But who will ever find the documentation inside the installation folder? So is there a way to create shortcuts for these files in the startmenu too? As I said, I hope this question is within limits, because it's not related to any language on SoloLearn.

its been a while since i use Inno Setup, so i'm sorry if its not quite right. open the .iss file find section called [icons] or something like that, you should see the setting for shortcut to your program and uninstaller here. just follow their format as an example, but at the Filename change it to your documentation file ex: Name: {group}\documentation; Filename: {app}\help\docs.pdf
