Re: PM WARNING: Cannot write to '/usr/share/applications' java.io.IOException: Permission denied when creating shortcuts under Linux Did you run the installer with the according permissions, like root? You should do so if you want to register system shortcuts.

Actually I do not wanted to create any shortcuts, this is why I answered no in the dialog. IMHO the installer should not try to write to the above directory in this case.
