I think I am losing my mind. I've got a simple application for which I
have a setup project to install the application. I create a shortcut to
the applications project in the user's desktop. When I go to install
the application it creates a shortcut to a shortcut instead of a
shortcut to the application. Has anyone else seen this before????

So your set project package your creating is getting its source from a
project output or from a Exe file you have included?

Make sure that the shortcut your are creating is for the primary application
output, like a exe

Idiot. Just had to give the shortcut an icon.
