While it's possible to push executable files via file.managed, it's desirable to be able to manage applications like putty.exe, pscp.exe, etc. in packages instead.

Thanks for the feature request. I really like it.

I'm thinking that the following features would be nice:

  1. Allow for pushing down either a list of one ore more executables or a whole directory
  2. Setting to allow for a list of shortcuts. ie create a shortcut from an executable to the desktop or quickstart bar.
    a. maybe even allow for creating a StartMenu entry for the executable.

What do you think about this, @zaad?

@UtahDave, I think it's a great idea re: StartMenu/Quickstart/Startup/shortcut. I think that it's probably good to be able to manipulate that for packages in general (even ones with installers).

@UtahDave, it may also be desirable to be able to modify environment path & variables from the package definition.
