IIRC, there's no way to prevent environment-variable expansion when shortcuts are created by an MSI, so the shortcuts need to be created or modified after installing IDLE. Perhaps this can be implemented in the MSI with a custom action. Or perhaps this can be implemented after installing the package via the OnExecutePackageComplete hook method in Tools/msi/bundle/bootstrap/PythonBootstrapperApplication.cpp.

They're probably hiding the action to modify shortcuts since generally they're installed for all users in %ProgramData%, and modifying them requires administrator access.

You shouldn't need to copy a shortcut in your own AppData. You can modify it directly. |
