We've tried to get a bit better in WiX v3.  Still may need more work, but WiX

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Checkbox --> Desktop Shortcut

Dark has never been a proper decompiler.  It works for the most part, but it's 
basically in there so
you can open up existing MSIs and find out what's going on as a starting point. 
 The WiX team have
always said that you shouldn't expect a dark'd MSI to compile.
