potwnc Posted November 9, 2012 Report Posted November 9, 2012 After installing version 7.5 on Windows 8 I have (as expected) a new app (PicturesToExe 7.5) pinned to my Windows 8 start tiles. Because the start tiles are new in Windows 8 the installer must be aware of the version of Windows it is installing to, I would think. But during the installation I see the option not to create a start menu item. This may confuse some users because in Windows 8 there is no start menu any more (OK there are some 3rd-party tools out there to add an "old-style" start menu but the installer shouldn't rely on the user having one of these installed). Wouldn't it be better (if this is possible) to take away that option completely when installing to Windows 8?Please note the issue of terminology difference between Windows 8 and some earlier versions of Windows. Windows 8 does not have a start menu. It does have a "Start Screen" with tiles but this is not the same thing as what Windows users will understand by the term "start menu." Quote
