> I am not sure what a 'post-installation script' means in practice. IIRC, there's no way to prevent environment-variable expansion when shortcuts are created by an MSI, so the shortcuts need to be created or modified after installing IDLE. Perhaps this can be implemented in the MSI with a custom action. Or perhaps this can be implemented after installing the package via the OnExecutePackageComplete hook method in Tools/msi/bundle/bootstrap/PythonBootstrapperApplication.cpp. > On the 'most recent' and alphabetical listings, one must right click, > select 'more', and then 'open file location'.

You shouldn't need to copy a shortcut in your own AppData. You can modify it directly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue22121> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
