Description
It installs ok, no error messages, but nothing happens afterwards. There are no icons either on the desktop nor at the Start button. I selected download of "Windows Installer (signature)" which dowloaded the file "electrum-3.0.0-setup.exe" (size: 27017 kB)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Windows 7 SP1 x64 using the downloaded electrum-3.0.0-setup.exe Windows Installer (signature) package. Check what happens after installation when no application window or desktop and Start menu icons appear. Done means the cause is identified and the installer produces a launchable Electrum application with the expected icons.
