Solution:
1. Create the Shortcurt you want to include and rename it to
shortcutname.link (dos-box, cmd)
2. Include it to the Package and tell the installer to rename it to
'shortcutname.lnk'
This still works fine for me.
NOTE: This only works if the App will be installed in the same and fix path
as on your Dev-Machine. I´ve created a dummy folder under
c:\programs\apppath, put an exe file with the name of the original one there
and created the link then.
