Description

Hello! I am a small EDM artist and I'm looking for a software that fits me. I found you guys and thought I'd try out LMMS! I downloaded the installer and let it download, I came back and it said done. But when I searched for it, because it didn't go to my desktop, it just gave me the installer.

Research direction

Start with the installer and setup wizard behavior described in the report, first confirming the operating system and installer version because neither is specified. Reproduce the installation and inspect how desktop shortcuts are handled. Done means a completed installation creates the expected desktop shortcut, with the result covered by an appropriate installer test if one exists.
