As a packager, you get good control over what happens. Solving this problem could be done with a batch file:
@ECHO OFF IF "%KISYSMOD%"=="" SET KISYSMOD=%~dp0\..\share\kicad\modules IF "%KISYS3DMOD%"=="" SET KISYS3DMOD=%~dp0\..\share\kicad\modules\packages3d start kicad.exe which fixes the Windows install wherever it's been installed with the desktop shortcut and start menu items needing the bat file reference instead of the kicad executable. You'd just have to figure out setting the icon of the shortcut now because it won't be the KiCad icon, but you should be able to create a shortcut using the exe as an icon reference. Anyway, good luck! Brian. On 7 December 2015 at 22:05, Mark Roszko <[email protected]> wrote: > That's what the patch does now..
