Running setup with the -n switch,
setup-x86_64.exe -n
disables creation of the shortcuts. You can easily add the -n switch to a
desktop shortcut that you use to run setup, so you don't get bothered by this
again.
Run setup-x86_6.exe --help to see a list of all of the supported command-line
switches.
