No. It will overwrite the associations, and, upon uninstallation,
it will entirely remove them.
OTOH, it does install into a separate folder, and it creates
shortcuts in a separate start menu folder.

You could generate such an installer yourself, setting a variable
in msi.py. However, I can make installation of the shortcuts optional,
in future builds of the installer (to be enabled through a public
MSI property).
