Discussion on ideas for templates to add

[gep13]

Is there an issue open for this already?

My suggestions would be templates for the following cases:

• Portable .zip
  Doesn't contain installers. Include a way to create shortcuts for the start menu. Create an .exe.gui.
• Portable .exe
  Not an installer. Create start menu shortcut. Create .exe.gui
• Zipped installer
  Contains setup.exe and maybe other stuff. Deals with unpacking to a directory (best would be the lib package directory and not C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp since there were issues with paths with usernames containing non-latin letters) and removing unpack-directory afterwards.
  According to our discussion here: https://gitter.im/chocolatey/choco?at=55e87aaf05f4097b40f6c36a it should contain Get-ChocolateyWebFile Get-ChocolateyUnzip and Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage
• Normal installer
  Non-zipped setup files.

Might add more if I come up with something reasonable.
