yes it does ... but only to the java web start program ; It could create
a link to the installer, not to the node :|

2 solutions comes : 

Either using antinstaller to startup the node (it would detect that it's
already installed and will just silently launch the node -possibly
looking for updates before-)

Or deploying the node as a java web start program itself,
so that it will always fetch the most up-to-date version (it means
getting rid of the installer and that the node should be able to be
configured from proxy). I'll investigate that and see how feasible it
is.
