Need installer option "Do not create shortcuts"

[Edward Yang]

I personally do not quite like creating too many shortcuts in Start Menu. I usually remove VirtualBox shortcuts after installation completes. It would be handy for the installer to have an option that says "Do not create Start Menu shortcuts".

Do you mean something like the attachment that follows? I don't know what version of VirtualBox you were installing, or how you were installing it, but this option has been there for a long time.

I believe that this ticket should be closed as "Invalid".

Windows Installer option to create shortcuts or not.

[Edward Yang]

That's not what I meant. I do not like Start Menu shortcuts as I stated in the initial ticket. See my new attachment.

BTW, the shortcuts "Uninstall" and "Website" do not help much at all (for me).

[Socratis]

Ah, so you're not talking about shortcuts, you're talking about the "Start Menu Program Group". Close, but not the same. And yes, I agree with you, that should be an optional thing. It's easy enough to implement I believe.

I see this new improvement in recent test build (5.1.17.111168). Good work!

BTW, one small problem - should the option label is "Start Menu entries" (uppercased)?

Fix is part of VBox 5.1.8.

Re comment:9: I don't think that uppercase entries are appropriate here.
