Thanks Oliver, one of these days I will upgrade my Innosetup as well,
but since there are incompatibilities between versions 4 and 5 I can't
do it easily as we use about 50 different scripts for installing our
products...

And that was a response to a question by myself too...
Only defense:
1) I have had a lot of computer crashes since April 15 with constant
troubleshooting and rebuilds.
2) Summer holiday season

I did this too and recompiled the installer with inno 4. Works fine
now as far as I can see.

I have updated the installer on my site now.

I don't see this problem on my PC, the Control Panel shortcut sits
there just fine.
