This identifies the most commonly interesting configuration items in the application.
- None, except for default language if needed.
- Registry based pre-configuration is available.
- Repackaging techniques that involve recapture will only support a single language. Some packaging forms allow for a script to be run on package installation or first run of the application. In that case, adding additional launguage files in a side folder of the package could be used with a package script to detect the OS launguage and copy files appropriately.
- The application installs into program files.
- There are 4 shortcuts. The second is to a manual which is available from menu in the program. The third is a "What's New" link. The fourth is a help link. Often these are removed.
- There are lots of FTAs with shell extensions. There are both Context Menus and Drop Handlers. These are added to many zip like existing FTAs, new .rar* FTAs, and the special "*" FTA.
- There are no protocol handlers, or services.
- There is no autoupdater.
