Description zikmund 2004-01-29 09:11:59 UTC

Based on issue #39327 I'd prefer NB installer's
behavior as other "good" installers of common
products like Winamp, Winzip, Winrar, CuteFTP,
CloneCD etc. - they ask user if they want to:
  1) add desktop icon (using checkbox)
  2) add menu items (using checkbox)
  3) where create menu items (All users vs.
personal user profile)
  4) menu item name with possibility of choose the
submenu by typing "Development
Tools\Java\NetBeans" (this behavior have the
newest and best installers I know)

Notice: (3) is quite advanced behavior, but I
think it's usefull and it please the user
(remember that installer is used by Windows
administrators! who are at least common with these
concepts)

Very similar to 39327. I make sense to track all the things in one place.
