#189 XP install doesn't add the.exe to start menu
A The Hessling Editor folder is added to XP's Start - All Programs during XP install, but the folder contains everything else than a link to the THE.EXE executable itself, so one can't start the THE editor from START - ALL PROGRAMS. I added the shortcut manually, but I don't see why the installer can't do that itself.
It's there on Windows 7! I didn't do an install on my XP machine when I upgraded from W2k. Just copied all the folders from my backup.
I seem to recall getting a desktop icon during my first install, but I could be wrong!
Shouldn't this be a Feature Request, not a Bug?
Feel free to email me via SF if you need more help.
Hi,
1. I don't need help since I copied the shortcut myself.
2. If the installation procedure adds an entry to start - all programs and it is impossible to start the program from that entry, I do consider it a bug, not a feature request. If it didn't add anything to start - all programs at all, I would consider it a feature request. It didn't add a desktop icon but I wouldn't consider that a bug.
3. Could you elaborate on how to contact you via SF? Not understood.
If you right click on it and select Properties then you can do what you want.
