Ah, a Windows thing ;-) I really didn't see the point, but had no objection... but I'm on a Mac. On Windows, yes, I totally agree that it should be in a general directory 'Apache Flex', but maybe not in it's own subdirectory, but in a directory 'utilities'? And are we (or the Installer installer) creating shortcuts in the Start menu (while it lasts...) and on the Desktop? If so, what are their names?
All this ties very strongly with the "first impressions" thing, which I feel very strong about.
