The updated patch (additionally) enables this method of uninstallation as well as removing empty Program Files parent folders when uninstalling. --0000000000001bae890629e00f9d Content-Type:

I will link devel (and OP) rather than here with the (transient, available for some days at least) link to the new version of the installer I've made applying the attached patch (under other cover). I'll report back in (to this bug) with a "stand-alone" patch showing just code needed to resolve this issue (probably for academic purposes, given this consolidated patch works). It should apply to virtually any branch (or release/pre-release source tarball). FTR, it was easy enough to swap reorder things to ensure that the shortcuts got created properly (according to user options, and not prior to asking for input/confirmation of those preferences, as before); however, I had to go to lengths to ensure the uninstaller removes whatever shortcuts it creates. The resulting (seemingly reliable) result is that we now delete empty parent folders (up to the start menu application's folder root) when deleting whatever shortcuts during uninstallation which the given installer had made. I can (and probably should) give the same treatment to the applications folder, removing empty parents of the User's selected install folder, but I think we have enough to test for just now. (The same approach will work; it won't be difficult to add. But let's confirm the recursive delete method works reliably for others). For anyone seeing this and interested in a (slightly) more durable link from which one can follow (by seeing incremental/experimental builds outside of links shared to devel) along, seeing my current version of the attached patch and related binaries using the 30.0.93 (pre-release 3 for Emacs 30) tarball a starting-point, here's an index page: https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-30/?C=M;O=D Note, when browsing the above link: The "latest" and otherwise (not 30.0.93_N_or_bug) releases are the latest snapshots taken from the emacs-30 branch (so, by now, more recent than the release tarball mentioned above, and without this/these patches, for now). Such builds are named based on the git revision and include the sources used in the given folders. Builds related to installer fixes based on Emacs 30/pretest #3 are within my "Emacs 30 root folder", index to which is linked above. --000000000000db29030629cfce31 Content-Type:

Thanks much for looking into issues/fixes with the binary installer
for Windows, Francis! "Promoting" your comments to a bug report here,
as I think you've uncovered an undocumented (and fixable + worth
fixing) thing.

This I think I am not currently able to do much about, alas.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I confirmed it exists also with the
29.4 released binary installer. When I select "show details" I can
see at the end of the unpacking ("installation") processing step it
creates start-menu short-cuts; however, the screen where we choose
whether or not we want to install short-cuts isn't shown until after
the unpacking step -which I now see does short-cut creation, but
shouldn't- is completed. There is some code in the nsi script which
might be doing the write thing in the wrong place, at first glance.
In any case, with the present (for some time) installer we get a
"hard-coded" incorrect value for a start menu shortcut that is always
created irrespective of relevant choices offered to the user by said
installer. Not great.
I'll look into fixing this for the 30.1 installer, also, replying back
in here if/when I have an "_3" that seems to warrant others' testing
effort.
Since this "short-cut page ignored" issue doesn't seem already to have
been captured in the bug tracker I have directed this reply such as to
create a new bug-report. I'll try to arrange to get additional
relevant comments I/we make back on devel show up in the new bug
report (I don't have the number yet, as I write this), but: feel free
to address replies back to original devel thread (or otherwise to this
new bug thread) as you think best.
