When port 8080 is occupied the desktop URL is not updated

This is my attempt to be proactive about an issue. We have identified that if port 8080 is occupied (the default port that we try to install on), our installer automatically suggests a new port for you. We also update all our links to that port once you select the port (or if you ever change it in the future), but updating the URL shortcut that we place on the desktop programatically does not do what you would hope in .Net.

The URL is actually updated but unless you change the properties of the URL shortcut through the properties dialog of the shortcut it does not get propagated to Windows.

That being said, the easy work around for this is to right click on the URL shortcut and update it with the propertied dialog.
