Is there a way to do a silent install without creating a desktop icon? I can simply silent

install vlc-3.0.0-win64.exe /S

and silent install just fine, but it seems there are very few switches??

Thanks

Why not just follow up with:

cmd.exe /C del /F /Q "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\VLC media player**"

This is what I have used for years to remove the shortcuts after a silent install. You might want to use the exact shortcut name to be safe.
