[wpkg-users] Old Feature Request / Perhaps New Idea

[Heiko Helmle (horiba/eu)]

Hello List,

I was looking through the archives searching for a way to find out the 
Start Menu Path on different language version of windows.

I read that you considered hardcoding all possible languages.

Well - the start-menu part is saved in the registry: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell 
Folders\Common Programs

If WPKG could expand some of those paths ("Common Desktop"  would also be 
very useful), this could simplify lots of install scripts.

My dream feature would be WPKG able to expand any registry value into an 
environment variable, which then could be used inside an install cmd.

What do you think?

Best Regards
        Heiko Helmle
