Your criticism also missed that I am "non-compliant" by putting an
"uninstall" link in the Start Menu.  Will Father Gates forgive me from
straying from the truth path?

I hate the Program Files folder.   But if you have a love for it, I could
write a function in the installer for you "standards compliant" people.

Function .OnInit

MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION "Do you wish the installer to be MSI
compliant?"  IDNO ThinkDifferent

EndFunction

Function ILoveGates

InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\${MUI_PRODUCT}"

EndFunction

Function ThinkDifferent

InstallDir = "C:\gnu\lib\gtksharp"

EndFunction


------

Would this be sufficient?
