[Documentation] Document decision for Shims versus other technologies #633

Open

Description

@dhilgarth

I am wondering why you aren't simply using shortcuts, soft or hard links instead of the generation of shim executables. This seems to be a much simpler way with less complications.

Why did you decide against it?

    Apologies if I don't give you a direct answer but after answering the question several times already (all are searchable and readily readable) - I think we just need to document it on the wiki.

    Also, questions work out much better on the mailing list - chocolatey at googlegroups dot com.
