What does your shortcut authoring look like?

Well it looks like it is present in Orca, see attached screen shot.

But there seems to be no trace of it in the MSI log file, also attached.

Verify your authoring.  Inspect the MSI with Orca to see if the shortcut is included (did you include the right fragment).

If it is, then uninstall and reinstall your MSI from the command line w/ Verbose logging enabled (/l*v .\Install.log).

If it isn't, then recheck your authoring.
