Installing on x64 machine - shortcuts point to incorrect location

I've been testing Scratch on a 64-bit machine and have run into a problem with the shortcuts.

By default on any x64 varient of Windows, Scratch wants to be installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Scratch which is fine, but the shortcuts that get created on the start menu point to C:\Program Files\Scratch and ovbiously don't work.

Does anybody know why this is and is there anyway to change it?  I am using the MSI installer becuase it gets installed to 1000 machines.

Cheers

Adam.

Re: Installing on x64 machine - shortcuts point to incorrect location

That's odd; I'm on a 64 bit operating system and the shortcut works fine.  hmm  What OS are you on?

As an aside, if you're going to install on so many computers, it might be easier to install once on a network.

Maybe that's the problem? There are some differences between the MSI and EXE installers (for example, the project icon is included in the MSI)...

Yawn.
