[Gambas-user] How to create packages so that they do not appear in the system menu?

[Jorge Carrión]

In the end I opted for the first solution, a single installation package.
It is a little more tricky to manage because in the development machine you
have to create the installation package of program A and then copy the
executable in the .hidden of program B, but in the customers machines it is
all simpler because you only have to install and/or update a single
package. Of course a change in Program A should implies a update in Program
B but its not a big deal. Program A is very simple. 😀😀

Thank you all.
Best regards
