The MSI's wizard now has a Shortcuts page between the install folder and
Ready, with a ticked "Create a desktop shortcut" box (the Start Menu
shortcut is always installed, as the page says). The box sets the secure
INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT property; the shortcut's component is installed
only with it, on the common desktop of this per-machine install, and is
removed with the app. msiexec /qn installs it too unless
INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT="" is passed.
