Maybe I should have provided some more info on my system:
OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64
The computer is part of a windows domain. Admin has set up folder redirection for home catalogs and I believe also has enabled roaming profiles.

Options to create shortcut on desktop was not selected.

Well that was for a previous version and not a solution but a workaround but sure, is's not a biggie if it intentionally should not be fixed.

This issue can only be fixed in Inno Setup. Until then, I'd suggest to use the workaround.
