Windows: Updating doesn't recreate application shortcuts #7

@ghost

Description

Today I installed 1.02 fresh, & as expected it made 2x application shortcuts on the Desktop, as well as my user's Start Menu. Afterward I deleted the Desktop shortcut, & moved the Start Menu one into a separate submenu.

Shortly after this, version 1.0.3 was released, & I notice when I installed it, it updated the version of the app running in the system tray, as expected. However it trusted that the shortcuts from the previous installation were still present rather than recreating them in the standard locations, as is done with a fresh install.

Not that this is a problem, as the old shortcut still calls the updated executable, just different behavior than what I've come to expect with Windows installers. Usually they recreate the shortcuts.
