Windows Installer shortcuts.
I've been poking around with Windows Installer lately and have gotten everyt
hing working the way I want it to, however I can't seem to figure out shortc
uts.  I can create them on the File System tab to be added to the start menu
 folder and they are, but when I click on one it brings up a Windows Install
er window for a few seconds before running the shortcut.  Every single time 
I click on any shortcut I created it pops up a Windows Installer status bar 
for a few seconds.  It's quite annoying.

I've also noticed that the shortcuts all have a notepad type icon instead of the icon of 
their target, they are 3K in size rather than 1K, and the shortcut target points only to 
the product name value [ProductName] rather than the full path.

Any idea why these shortcuts are all screwy and what I can do to make a stan
dard shortcut?
