At compile time, Inno keeps saying there was an error:

Line: 81
Error: Missing closing quote on parameter "Name"

but I don’t see anything wrong. It points to the line just below [icons]

    Okay, I figured it out. One of my definitions was failing. It was supposed to extract the file_description from the target executable’s resource.

    #define APPTITLE GetStringFileInfo("C:\sourcepath\myapplication.exe", FILE_DESCRIPTION)

    There was a ‘ in the File Description! And that caused Inno to offest all of its quotation marks.

    Here is what Dee Earley at the Inno forum told me:

    Why should it escape it? It doesn’t know what it needs to escape it for, it’s “just a string”. You should escape it for it’s output when needed using StringChange() or just quoting it properly. ‘
