Problem with creating shortcut in .Net deployment project

Hi all,

I create a merge module using .Net 2003 Deploment project. I added a shortcut and used this merge module in InstallShield project.

After installing the product, when click the shortcut, it runs Windows Installer to open the file. The problem was that the Target property of the shortcut was set to a feature in InstallShield project. This make the shortcut advertised. It should point the the actual path for the file.

My question is: how to set the target property for the short. Right now, I cannot set this property in .Net deployment project, I can only choose from the output.
