I used to create exe files for windows, but the latest and greatest concept is 
wheels .whl files.

Does anyone know how to make the created exes that the wheel can install have an 
icon for windows?

How is one supposed to make the wheel install a desktop short cut etc etc?

The wheel is just a zip so is there perhaps a way to make the wheel installation 
run a post installation script?
