Subject: bug#70538: [PATCH] Enchance and Beautify Emacs Windows NT Installer
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2025 20:20:09 -0600
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Here is the now updated patch.

Summarizing the changes this patch makes:
 * Add 2 new banners for the installer.
 * Add option to add installation directory to local user `PATH' environment
   variable and option for copy shortcut to desktop.
 * Add finish page to installer that includes a checkbox for run emacs
   after installation (maximized) and a link to GNU website.
 * Installation directory renamed from 'Emacs“ to `GNU Emacs'.
 * Installation files live now inside `GNU Emacs' folder instead
   `Emacs\emacs-${VERSION_BRANCH}\'
 * Shorcuts named `Emacs' renamed with `GNU Emacs'

Here are some screenshots showing the new installer (in order):
