Setup Project - Application Shortcut Icons not correct

In VS.NET 2003:

After creating a setup project for a C# .NET 1.1 app, when we install the application using the setup project on Win2k, the icons associated with the shortcut default to the underlying type (ie// we get the default executable icon when the shortcut points to an executable).

If we bring up the properties for the shortcut after it has been installed, the Target is set to the application name (rather then to the underlying file path), the Find Target and Change Icon buttons are greyed out and the Target Location value is empty.

Additionally, the Add/Remove Icon is a folder and there is no information stored with the Add/Remove entry about the program size.

If we create the application shortcut manually post-installation, the icons are correct.

Any ideas on why this is happening and what we can do to resolve it

Best Regards,

James.
