I want to start my successfully installed Java program after the installation finished. I know how to do it in principle:

[Run]
FileName: "{app}\LaunchApp.bat"; Description: {cm:LaunchApp}; Flags: nowait postinstall skipifsilent

LaunchApp.bat:

start javaw -jar  MyJar.jar Main

This way, the console window pops up for a short while, which is not very nice. Using links, this can be avoided. However, I don’t seem to be able to execute a link created in the [Icon] in the [Run] section.

Any suggestions how to solve this?

    Try to add the runhidden flag. From the reference:

    If this flag is specified, it will launch the program in a hidden
    window. Never use this flag when executing a program that may prompt
    for user input.

    So this should resolve your question:

    [Run]
FileName: "{app}\LaunchApp.bat"; Description: {cm:LaunchApp}; Flags: nowait postinstall runhidden skipifsilent
