Tell that to the official documentation of the WiX toolset ;-) http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/files_and_registry/create_start_menu_shortcut.html The warning was also discussed on this mailing list in 2009 where it was considered /normal/ http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Incomprehensible-warning-td2234181.html I can avoid it by using [APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY]myapplication.exe - creating an unvalidated shortcut that could point to anything even outside of the installer. I could also place my shortcuts directly under the <File /> element for myapplication.exe, but I'm generating the file list via Heat.exe, so this would involve some patching via xmlpoke or sed which I'm not keen on (and neither does the example in the documentation do it that way).
