Why is it a crapshoot if Vista will install a "Start-Programs" group and/or a deskstop shortcut? I end up having to search through explorer to find my game EXEs and make my own shortcuts. Some games do it fine, but most seem to not. WTF?
 
Just installed a game that SPECIFICALLY asked if I wanted a program group and desktop shortcut. Said yes, AND STILL NO group or shortcut. This is ridiculous! Is Vista a POC or what?

So you're blaming a poorly written installer on the OS? :rolleyes:

It's not up to Vista, it's up to the game developer to include that functionality. Please stop trying to blame Vista. Some companies don't install All Program menu anymore.
