Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a2)
Gecko/20040602 Firefox/0.8.0+

Using the new options to control where icons are installed did not work as expected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a custom install
2. Choose options to install icons on the desktop and in the Start menu.
Actual Results:  
No icon was placed on the desktop.  A Mozilla Firefox folder was put in the
Start menu, but with no icons in it.

Expected Results:  
Icons on the desktop and Start menu.
