Installer confuses/mixes per-user and all-user installation
MY SETUP:
- Windows 11 Pro w/ all updates
- SharpKeys installed via winget:
winget install -e --id "RandyRants.SharpKeys"
THE PROBLEM
SharpKeys is installed in a location common to all users:
%ProgramFiles%\RandyRants.com\SharpKeys\
However, the program shortcuts are placed in the user's private Start Menu:
%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\RandyRants.com\SharpKeys
This is a problem if more than one user installs the software, and then one uninstalls it. It leaves dangling shortcuts in all the other users' Start Menus.
SOLUTIONS:
(a) install correctly for ALL USERS by putting the shortcuts in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\...
(b) install correctly on a SINGLE USER basis by putting the application in %AppData%
, not %ProgramFiles%
