You can use token $userhomefolder to get your home directory path, then you can add sub path to get the path of your desktop.

Thanks Xiaoyi,

Here is the proper syntax to install, in this case an entire folder, to the desktop:

<files>
<file source="sourceFiles" destination="$userhomefolder/desktop"/>
</files>

Should work for Win 7 and Mac
