Option for not install a shortcut in desktop

[dominiosc]

I install every pre-release, and each time I have to delete the desktop shortcut; would it be possible to add an option allowing the user to choose whether the installer creates it, and remember this?

Thanks.

Added in e14205a; it will be in the next pre-release build.

The installer has a new option, Install desktop shortcut (click Options; it's on by default). Uncheck it and no desktop shortcut is created. Start menu shortcuts are still created.

The choice is remembered: it's stored in the registry (DesktopShortcut in SumatraPDF's uninstall key) and every later upgrade, including auto-updates, uses it as the default. So you uncheck it once, when installing the pre-release that has this option, and later pre-releases won't re-create the shortcut. Unchecking it also removes the existing desktop shortcut.

For scripted / silent installs there's also a command-line flag: -no-desktop-shortcut.
