No. This is the first time in several years that this was reported, and chances that this gets fixed in the upcoming years are very low, unless a patch gets contributed. (IOW, I couldn't care less about implementing it myself, and find installers annoying that ask too many questions). In any case, try installing with msiexec /i <pyxy.msi> 'ProgramMenuFolder=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\StartMenu\Programs\Programming' or some such.
