Chuck, For crying out loud, 95% of the installers out there create shortcuts for the user in the startmenu and on the desktop. Why is this such a bad thing for setup.exe to do? What does external data have to do with the price of potatos? Seriously, I'm proposing a "simple" solution which is the norm for most installers. Where have I gone astray?
