Hi DevTeam,
first of all: Thank you for the fantastic work over so many years.

With version 2.60, the MSI installer was changed to create shortcuts with a custom action.
This makes it now very hard to disable the desktop shortcut.
Typically desktop shortcuts are not installed in enviroment, where silent installs are the way to go.

Got a short view on the code.
Should be doable, i guess.

Thank you.

    I've now added a KPS_OPTIONS property, which allows to customize a (silent) installation (whether to create a shortcut on the desktop, etc.).

    Documentation preview:

    MSI file for testing (it installs KeePass 2.60):

    Thanks and best regards,
    Dominik
