Okay, here’s a new attempt: https://github.com/deathssoul/MWEdit/actions/runs/18967509920
It should put all files in the bin directory (will add a note to look for the extra data files elsewhere on the tracker later) and hopefully it fixes the issues with desktop shortcuts and Start Menu entries. I also changed the LICENSE file to LICENSE.txt as the docs make it sound like a file extension is required for importing even though standard practice is to leave the extension off on *nix.
