At most the location of the installation folder (and I > believe you can set this by choosing the custom installation method) I admit this is really a minor issue. You're right, many other programs don't offer this option as well (some have a checkmark to disable icon creation at all). However, there are many installers that allow a lot of fine tuning in user defined setup) - option to install for all users instead of current user only (only if current user has admin privileges) - location of program folder - location in start menu - option to create no icons at all - option to create desktop icon - option to create quick start icon ... IMHO the best free installer for windows is INNO Setup (www.jrsoftware.org/) If you want, I'll write an inno script for mercaartor that could be used for next version's installer. -- Regards, Boris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Merkaartor mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/merkaartor
