I am trying to build a MSI for my application. After going through and adding the shortcut into the new editor I am getting the following error

I replaced the actual company name with the string "Company Name" in the output above. My company name has spaces in it and it shows correctly in the tree on the left when I selected its for the place to put the shortcut. If I go and change the company name to not have spaces, the MSI will build.
