Command line option to suppress start menu icon installation in windows #9729

Open tonigi opened 6 years ago

tonigi commented 6 years ago

(This is a feature request)

I would like to propose a command line option for the Windows Miniconda installer that avoids the menuinst step. This is to enable multiple installations, and especially non-user-visible ones, whose icons otherwise clobber the miniconda start menu shortcut.

In my opinion, such an option would be consistent with the spirit of the existing /NoRegistry . (In fact, I'm inclined to think that not installing the icon should be default in the NoRegistry case).

Alternatively, icons for separate installations should somehow be allowed coexist and be removable independently.

Thanks!
