Description Kai Willadsen 2014-08-30 20:37:30 UTC
The MSI installer just creates the start menu shortcuts. It should also have options to create desktop, quick launch, and "send to" shortcuts.

This will involve subclassing (or more likely, copy and pasting) and hacking functions from Python's bdist_msi, since it has no hooks for additional prompts. Licensing should be taken into account in this case.
