My experiments shows that the MUI shortcut only work with two conditions met:
1) The resource must be *native*; 2) The exe that the shortcut points to must coexist with the resources in *one* binary. “An exe + a satellite resource dll” does not work. Please let me know if anyone has different experiment results.
