Hello,
Is there a way to add options to the windows installer to add desktop and start menu shortcuts?
I have to manually find the app in program files to run it because it can't be found easily in the windows searchbar

Be interested to see what comes of this, as I'm at the stage of setting this up too. I imagine it might be in the Gradle build script, so if I find something I'll post it here.

Yes, this is my `build.gradle.kts`:

compose.desktop {
    ...
    application {
       ...
       nativeDistributions {
       ...
           windows {
              ...
              shortcut = true // adds shortcut to Windows desktop
           }  
       }
    }
}

For those also finding this through search: adding menu = true makes it pop up in the start menu 🙂
