Yes, this is easy to do with scripting. Just write [Run] Filename: “http://example.com”; Flags: shellexec; Check: NotAnUpdate procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer); begin if CurPageID = wpInstalling then IsUpdate := FileExists(ExpandConstant(‘{app}\TheFileNameOfMyApp.exe’)); end; function NotAnUpdate: Boolean; begin result := not IsUpdate; end;
