I use InnoSetup. I don't know why you have all those #define statements at the beginning. Here is one of mine as an example:

[Setup]
AppName=Bootstrap
AppVersion=2.5.3
AppVerName=PowerBuilder Bootstrap - Demo Edition
AppPublisher=TopWiz Software
AppPublisherURL=http://www.topwizprogramming.com/
DefaultDirName={pf}\TopWiz\Bootstrap
OutputBaseFilename=Bootstrap_Demo
OutputDir=D:\PBSource\InnoSetups\Bootstrap
DefaultGroupName=TopWiz
LicenseFile=Bootstrap_License.txt
WizardImageFile=compiler:WizModernImage-IS.bmp
WizardSmallImageFile=compiler:WizModernSmallImage-IS.bmp

[Files]
Source: D:\PBSource\Bootstrap\Deploy_Demo\*; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion

[Icons]
Name: {group}\Bootstrap; Filename: {app}\bootstrap.exe; Parameters: ; WorkingDir: {app}

[Registry]
Root: HKCU; Subkey: Software\TopWiz\Bootstrap; ValueType: string; ValueName: "Location"; ValueData: "{app}"; Flags: uninsdeletekey;
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\bootstrap.exe; ValueType: string; ValueData: {app}\bootstrap.exe
Root: HKLM; Subkey: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\bootstrap.exe; ValueType: string; ValueName: Path; ValueData: {app}

[Run]
Filename: "{app}\bootstrap.exe"; Description: "Launch Bootstrap"; WorkingDir: "{app}"; Flags: postinstall nowait

The #define statements are so that I only have to hard code values once, in one location, at one time.
Throughout the remainder of the INNO script, I can refer to the defined constants.

I'm now wondering if I need to hardcode the ICON value with SetupIconFile instead of using the #define.
I'll give that a try tomorrow.

I think you've overdone it a bit with the defines. The #define is not a standard feature, it is part of Inno Setup Preprocessor which is an add-on.

I would only use it for values that repeat or would change frequently.

I found the answer.

It has to do with these SETUP parameters and how they actually work vs how they are named. The comments below indicate the actual action of the SETUP variable.

; If this SETUP parameter is set, its value will be used for the name displayed in
; the Control Panel's "Programs and Features" applet instead of the value of APPNAME.
; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;UninstallDisplayName="iCABS4_5 v4.0.5.0166 Uninstall"

; This sets the icon displayed in the "Programs and Features" applet of the Control panel
UninstallDisplayIcon={#SourceFileDir}\installer\{#MyAppIcon}

The items above seem to indicate that it is the uninstaller that is listed in the Control Panel, rather than the actual application. The SETUP parameter names would make sense if this were the case, but I had always assumed that it was the name of the application that was listed in the "Programs and Features" applet of the Control Panel!

Live and learn.
