Hello,

When I do a silent install with the command "JabRef-2.10b-setup.exe / S", the shortcuts are created directly in the folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\" and not in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\JabRef 2.10b".
So when we remove JabRef, the directory "Programs" is also deleted with all shortcuts from the start menu.

    This patch should certainly fix it :

    25a26
    > !define PRODUCT_NAME "JabRef"
    29a31
    > 
    101c103
    < !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER "$(^Name)"
    ---
    > !define MUI_STARTMENUPAGE_DEFAULTFOLDER "${PRODUCT_NAME}"
    

    The new nis file is attached

    It seems this is still broken in 2.10 beta 3 : the silent install (with /S) does put the shortcuts for JabRef and JabRef uninstall in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ and deletes the whole C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder when uninstalled...
