yfdyh000 opened the ticket and wrote:

The installer should create shortcuts at the current user instead of all users, or ask the user.

I did not find the appropriate category for the installer.

Reported version: 1.7.0
Operating system: Windows

But that's the correct behavior?

  • Public installation (C:\Program Files) => public shortcuts (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs)
  • Private installation (%LOCALAPPDATA%) => private shortcuts (??? there is no local appdata Start Menu folder, so use %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs for lack of better)
  • Portable installation (USB media etc.) => no shortcuts

Thanks for this. There's been no activity on this for some time, and as it stands, it doesn't look likely that it will go any further. I'm closing it as we try to keep the issue count low for OpenTTD, it helps us focus on things that are important and fun. Feel free to discuss in irc or request re-opening if you disagree. Thanks for contributing!
