Fig. 1: Inno Setup-created shortcut result



Fig. 2: Manually created shortcut result



Fig. 3: File hashes for the Inno Setup-created shortcut (top-left icon/top-left File Properties window), and for the manually created shortcut (bottom-left icon/bottom-middle File Properties window)



Can anybody please provide a way to fix this issue? Thank you.

UPDATE: I have tried creating an installer for Bat to Exe Converter as an experiment, and while the shortcut gets created and it supposedly points to the target file that exists in the target directory, the shortcut gives a blank image, and it is broken, stating that it cannot find the file, EVEN THOUGH IT EXISTS!

I am at a loss for words, as the previous repacks that I have made here actually work properly with the same shortcut settings, so I cannot find any obvious issues in the script whatsoever.
