One item I noticed with this installer (I used the build 12421, which I believe is the latest) is that there is no ability to specify where you want the start menu entries to go. I regularly, with Python 2.3, move them from "All Programs\Python 2.3" to "All Programs\Programming \Python 2.3"
I don't know how to do this.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with MSI installers, so I can't help.
Does the current (Wise) installer offer user interface for this?
Yes, that's how I was aware of it. It gives a (fairly standard - but I don't know if MSI based installers have it) dialog, listing the subfolders of the start menu (Accessories, etc) and a default of "Python 2.3". You can override this, and if you include backslashes (as in Programming\Python 2.3) then that translates to a subfolder. There's no GUI way of specifying a subfolder, though.
Do you know of other .msi-based software that has that feature (and for which I might have the .msi package somewhere).
No, I'm afraid I don't. I tend not to be particularly aware of what installer technology particular software uses. Paul. -- This signature intentionally left blank
