deployment - shortcut arguments

After creating a deployment project and creating a desktop shortcut on the users machine..my "argument" does not work. I am bascially passing a couple of numbers....3 5. A 3, a space, and a 5. The shortcut is created, but does not work. If I delete the shortcut and then create one from the exe in the project folder...and add.....the 3 and 5 at the end of the target path...it works.

Any ideas why the shortcut created by the install does not work? Why are the arguments not passed?

Thanks!

may very well be a problem of " " in the shortcuts.

can you paste here the properties of the non-working shortcut?

Here is a screen shot of the properties window where the argument is set. Is this the correct format? This screen shot was taken from Visual Basic Installer.

Thanks (see attached)
