I have the following in one of our products:
<Property Id="WixShellExecTarget" Value="[#IESLink.pdf]" />
I get no warnings at all when building that product's project. However I
am using WiX v3.0.5217.0 while it appears from the original post that
Riyaz is using WiX 2.0 so it could be something that was removed in the
v3.0 light code throwing the warning.

Setting a property to a string that contains formatting like [PROPERTY]
doesn't resolve the embedded properties. However, the WixShellExec
custom action does resolve the WixShellExecTarget property, so the
warning doesn't apply.
