Conditional Deployment of Shortcuts

How can I conditionally deploy shortcuts to my application? I have created a
custom installer dialog box to give my users the option of creating
desktop/start menu shortcuts, but the shortcuts do not have a Condition
property that allows conditional deployment. I have tried using the Condition
property of the folder where the shortcuts are being installed to, but the
shortcuts get installed whether the options are selected or not. I have read
on the Internet that it is possible to conditionally deploy the shortcuts (on
one of Microsoft's pages it says it can be done, but doesn't say how to do it
- on another Microsoft page it says, "There are several ways you can do this.
One is set a condition on the CreateShortcut action. This will turn on or off
all shortcuts creation. You can have a component that just contains the
shortcut and set a condition on this component. (The component condition
method would be the preferred method.)", but I don't know how to implement
this.

Any help would be appriciated...
