I've just created a new package for a product we're about to upgrade.
I see that it doesn't create its desktop shortcut until "repair" is run. We are
not creating the (unadvertised) shortcut in any way that is new; it does
exactly what the old ones did. I have looked at a few versions back and their
verbose logs and the one from the new package. There is a *lot* of new stuff
I've never seen previously in it (like stuff about WIN64DUALFOLDERS). Is this
related to any of those recent KB changes? Does any of this affect desktops,
shortcuts or ...?
I see a bunch of remove/create shortcuts, as I suppose is expected. Here are
all the relevant (?) parts I can find (skipping everything else):

Subject: Shortcuts and "full desktops"
I noticed that one of my installation packages (which I was internally testing
prior to sending it for testing more broadly) seemingly failed to install its
shortcuts because there were too many icons on the desktop (in grid mode)
already. (I figured this bizarreness out by cleaning some stuff up and trying
again.)
Is this a known thing? Should I be able to detect it somehow? It seemed that
the other files installed and that P&F showed it installed it. It is admittedly
unlikely this will affect anything but our testing machines, but I figured it
might be good to know.
