Good morning,
I just downloaded the tis-blender package, and when testing it I noticed that it does not create an icon in the start menu.
In fact, by default, the installation of Blender stores the icon in the APPDATA folder of the user who runs the MSI (in this case, the "system" account).
So, to get the icon correctly in the Start menu, you need to add the installation option ALLUSERS=1
I modified the package accordingly, to...

Code: Select all

    install_msi_if_needed(bin_name)
in...

Code: Select all

    prop = {
        'ALLUSERS':1
    }
    install_msi_if_needed(bin_name,properties=prop)
There you go! ;)
Good day
Baptiste
