Why isn't the sourcetree installer making start menu folders or convenient short cuts?

Shawn D. Fox

Years ago when I last used source tree it would install a desktop shortcut and create a start menu folder. Now after installing it, it is very difficult to find the executable so that I can make my own short cuts. Why has the installer changed the location where sourcetree.exe is placed, and why is it no longer providing those convenient options to make the shortcuts and start menu folder?

I'm running on windows 10 64 bit.

Hi Shawn,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

The installer changed when they released version 2 and is now installed under your Windows user profile, the main reason was put it there was so you do not require local Admin permission to do the install. Sourcetree now comes as an Enterprise version where you can select where it is installed. Take a look at Sourcetree for Windows Enterprise for more information.

Also, you should have a shortcut to it under Atlassian on the start menu, at least I do and I have not created it manually.

You're right. I do. However Windows installers typically ask you about that in case you want to specify the location of the start menu folder. Since the installer never told me it was going to put it there I did not know where to look. The last time I had installed it, the installation process was very different. Thanks for the tip.

The enterprise software description is a bit confusing. It looks to be aimed at IT pros, not at the typical developer. Are you saying that anyone can download the enterprise version and install that instead of using the other installer?
