#234: installer creates desktop shortcuts before asking whether I want them

--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 After installing or updating various packages (QGIS, Grass, etc) the
 installer asks if you would like to create a shortcut in the start menu
 and/or on the desktop.

 If I choose not to create a shortcut on the desktop, it is created anyway.
 In fact, I just installed on a new machine and noticed that the shortcuts
 are actually created _before_ the installer asks me whether I want them.

 N.B. I always choose to install for "all users" (so the shortcuts are put
 in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop).  Perhaps it actually
 would work if I chose to install only for myself...
