Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/549

We pushed the ScreenToGif.2.19.3.Setup.msi installer via Intune to our machines with the /silent switch and it installs, but no shortcut is placed in any of the users' Start Menus. Note, it's installing in the Per-User context so it should be running the installer as the currently signed in user. "C:\Program Files (x86)\ScreenToGif" exists on every machine we push it to, so we know it's installing. Can you have the msi installer drop a shortcut or a folder with a shortcut to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs", even when the installer is run silently? Thank you!
