Bug Description
Before creating the symlink to the installed program, the installation script currently only checks if there is a file with the same name. This could be the correct symlink from a previous installation, but also a broken symlink or just a file with the same name (maybe not very likely).
In case of a broken symlink, os.path.exists returns False but the creation of a new symlink will fail with FileExistsError.
I suggest to add a few more checks and to provide the user some hints in case the symlink is not created.
