Option to start Find And Run Robot after installation
MerleOne:
A suggestion, coming back from Win3.1 times.... Why not open the folder where Find and Run Robot start menu item are lying, so the user just has to double click on the icon to restart FARR with the right elevation ? Of course this would only be triggered on VISTA/7.
Jesper Hertel:
Seems quite funny if that should be necessary. :D The computer asking the user "Will you please click this icon and then close the window?"
Aren't computers meant to do exactly this kind of stuff for us...? ;D

That's a reasonable workaround, not a bad idea at all.. if i don't find a better solution soon i'll do that.
MerleOne:
Sure, but this comes from the time where there was no real start menu in Windows, so the only way to launch apps was to have a shortcut on the desktop or a direct navigation with the file explorer. Opening a windows with the shorcuts after install was enabling the user to launch the installed app. And closing that window was slightly frightening, because the folder location was not always obvious. Anyway, installers improved afterwards...

I think I understand the problem, but I still find it quite amusing ;D
