Is there a way of creating url based shortcut w/o having to refer to 
iexplore.exe as target and url as arguments?   In the excerpt below I'm 
creating a web site vdir and I'd like to include a shortcut that allows users 
after setup of the service completes to launch and test one of the urls exposed 
by the vdir.   Using what I have in place currently doesn't result in the noted 
shortcut with http://... For a Target setting being created.   Elsewhere I'm 
creating shortcuts the same way using actual setup installed .exe references as 
the Target value and they do successfully get created.

<Directory Id="Site1Vdir3Dir" Name="SomeVdir">
    <Component Id="Site1Vdir3" Guid="E89BB697-4C52-4835-BD40-49FD100261B0" 
Win64="$(var.Win64)">
        <!--<File Id="InstalledSite1Vdir3.txt" Name="InstalledSite1Vdir3.txt" 
Source="Resources\InstalledComponent.txt" KeyPath="yes" />-->
        <!-- need to use an HCKU key keypath to statisfy ice38 & ice43 checks 
-->
        <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" 
Key="$(var.SoftwareKey)\Microsoft\!(loc.ProductKey)">
            <RegistryValue Name="InstalledSite1Vdir3" Type="integer" Value="1" 
KeyPath="yes" />
        </RegistryKey>

        <File Id="SomeVdirService.svc" Name=" SomeVdirService.svc" 
Source="$(var.SomeWcfServiceProject.ProjectDir)SomeVdirService.svc"/>
        <File Id="Site1Vdir3Web.config" Name="Web.config" 
Source="$(var.SomeWcfServiceProject.ProjectDir)Web.config"/>

        <Shortcut Id="Site1Vdir3Shortcut1" Name="Some Vdir Wcf Provider"
              Target="http://localhost/SomeVdir/SomeVdirService.svc";
              Directory="ProductMenuFolder"
              Description=" Some Vdir Wcf Provider" />
        <RemoveFolder Id="Site1Vdir3ShortcutsRemoveProductMenuFolder" 
On="uninstall" />

        <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="Site1Vdir3" Alias=" SomeVdir " 
WebSite="DefaultWebSite" Directory="Site1Vdir3Dir">
            <iis:WebApplication Id="Site1Vdir3App" Name="SomeVdir Application" 
WebAppPool="Site1AppPool" Isolation="medium" />
        </iis:WebVirtualDir>
    </Component>
