Hi, I'd like to add menu entry in the Program Menu as part of the installation of an application. Is it possible to do that from Python? Any examples or link? I have not been able to find anything with google... thanks in advance s/
AFAIK, the startmenu entries are just .lnk files, placed either in the "All Users" or "Some Specific User" Startmenu directory. I only have a German XP and can't boot it to test at the moment, so I can't give more details, but there are surely registry entries to find the Startmenu location for the current user or for "All Users".
See http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/529 for an example how to place .lnk files. However, for real deployment, you probably want to use a real installer framework like NSIS for example.
