Not within the Setup Wizard itself.

Setup Wizard only creates icons directly in the Start menu; you can easily write a post-setup executable that uses either an OLE Automation object like WSH's Wscript.Shell, or a wrapper .DLL for the IShellLink API, like George Tasker's available here on UT, to create the shortcut for you with a VFP application.

I use InstallShield Pro; it's expensive, but there hasn't been anything that I couldn't accomplish using it in conjunction with a runtime install created via Setup Wizard (I fire the Setup Wizard created runtime install silently from within my InstallShield script.) There's a big learning curve compared to many of the other products available now.
