How to make the above icon only if running elevated, currently my setupper displays an error dialog for this icon when setupper is executed with the lower permissions as I have PrivilegesRequiredOverridesAllowed=dialog that allows end-user to choose to install to themself only.

Use {autodesktop} constant to create the icon on common desktop when elevated and on user's desktop otherwise.

Name: {autodesktop}\{#oemtitle}; Filename: {app}\app.exe; ...

To answer your literal question: To create an icon when running elevated only, use Check parameter with IsAdminInstallMode function (or IsAdmin).

    WorkingDir: {app}; IconIndex: 0; Flags: createonlyiffileexists; \
    Check: IsAdminInstallMode
