You cannot assume that the component names and the directory names have remained the same between the different versions. I don't know what tool you are using, but make sure the entry under Directory (and WkDir and Target) references a directory that is in the Directory table. And that the entry under component matches the component that holds the file you're making the shortcut to.
Or if you have Wise or Installshield or something similar, use the GUI to add them, not direct table edits
Hope this helps
