if u creating window setup project ... displayed icon advertisement not shortcut link.. , create shortcut of exe ...its creating shortcut link ...
these shortcuts called advertised shortcuts. give application abilities of installation-on-demand , advertisement. when user click on such shortcut, windows installer check integrity of application , automatically install/repair missing or corrupted components.
to disable advertised shortcuts, must set property called disableadvtshortcuts value 1 in msi package.
