Installer creates shortcut only for current user

• Jan 26, 2021 - 13:33

Current installer creates desktop icon ONLY for current user and most important creates Start menu shortcuts ONLY for current user.
If you have multi-user setup you have to manually make shortcuts for all users and delete installer created shortcut.

Current directory where start menu shortcut is created:
C:\Users\CURRENTUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MuseScore 3\MuseScore 3.lnk

It should be in:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MuseScore 3\MuseScore 3.lnk
Then it is visible for all users, regardless if there is only one single user or hundreds of users

Same is with desktop shortcut:
Currently shortcut is placed only for current install user:
C:\Users\CURRENTUSERNAME\Desktop\MuseScore 3.lnk

Best option is to make it optional but ideally it should be in:
C:\Users\Public\Desktop\MuseScore 3.lnk
Then it is visible for all users, regardless if there is only one single user or hundreds of users

Regards
