Installer Dialog problem

Iâ??m trying to create an installer for an application. The installer has a
custom dialog with two checkboxes determining if shortcuts should get created
on the desktop and in the Start menu. Regardless what I do, and what I check
the shortcuts always get created in both.

In the User interface Setup I have:
Checkboxes (A):
Checkbox1Label Desktop
Checkbox1Property CHECKBOXA1
Checkbox1Value Unchecked
Checkbox1Visible True

In the FileSystem/Userâ??s Desktop I have the shortcut defined and the
properties are:
AlwaysCreate False
Condition CHECKBOXA1=Checked
Transitive True

I have tried all permutations of the condition I can think of (Checked, 1,
0, nothing) even named the checkboxes differently. Nothing helps. Can
somebody help?

To test if the checkbox is checked, enclose 1 in quotes:

CHECKBOXA1 = "1"
