Steve Dower added the comment:

Not going to happen. The desktop is for users, not installers, and apps 
installing shortcuts all over it is one of the reasons we got the Start Screen 
in Windows 8 (where only users can add items - no way for installers to do it).

Besides, such an option would be off by default, which means you're probably 
looking at more than three clicks to enable it in the installer. Users can 
easily pin it to the taskbar or copy the shortcut to the desktop, and admins 
can push out a shortcut to all users on their network if they like. Either 
option is better than the installer doing it.
