Running setup with the -n switch, 

  setup-x86_64.exe -n

disables creation of the shortcuts.  You can easily add the -n switch to a
desktop shortcut that you use to run setup, so you don't get bothered by this
again.

Run setup-x86_6.exe --help to see a list of all of the supported command-line
switches.
