I'm having a strange issue with an installer (using WiX and Burn).  We've put
out about 15 updates (all major upgrades) without any problems.  Now the
latest update is causing the icon on the desktop shortcut to disappear on XP
(leaving us with the default windows shortcut icon).  The icon is fine on
all other versions of windows that we support (Vista, 7, and 8).

The icon is created like so:

<Product ...>
  ...
  <Icon Id="Icon.exe" SourceFile="$(var.ExePath)" />
  ...
</Product>

<Fragment>
  <DirectoryRef Id="DesktopFolder">
      <Component Id="..." Guid="...">
        <RegistryValue KeyPath="yes"
Key="Software\Company\$(var.ProductName)\Installer\Components\DesktopShortcut"
Name="DesktopShortcut" Root="HKCU" Type="integer" Value="1" />
        <Shortcut Advertise="no" Id="Product.DesktopShortcut"
Name="$(var.ProductName)" Target="[#OurExe.exe]"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR" Icon="Icon.exe" />
      </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
</Fragment>

The only difference I see is that we've moved to a new build machine, but
both are using the exact same version of WiX (3.7.1224.0).  I don't have
access to the previous machine so I can't do a build on it and see if the
problem goes away.

Any ideas on how I can debug this problem?

Thanks!
