(174/211) 3946 - windows installer (using .inf file) always creates desktop shortcut

When using the windows installer with the /SAVEINF=c:\setup.inf parameter it creates a setup.inf with the options that have been chosen in the installer.
So far so good! However, if you uncheck 'create desktop icon' in the installer, the setup.inf file gets written with the task that does create the desktopicon.

Of course editing the setup.inf and removing that task fixes this, so this is a very minor issue. When running the installer normally (without the /saveinf parameter) it does not create a desktop shortcut when not selected.
