"How To: Create a Shortcut on the Start Menu" leads to ICE69 warning #5938

Description

@ChristianCiach

I am trying to use the example from this how-to: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/files_and_registry/create_start_menu_shortcut.html

When using the complete example at the bottom of this page verbatim (only inserting my own GUIDs), light.exe throws a warning:

warning LGHT1076 : ICE69: Mismatched component reference. Entry 'ApplicationStartMenuShortcut' of the Shortcut table belongs to component 'ApplicationShortcut'. However, the formatted stringin column 'Target' references file 'myapplication.exe' which belongs to component 'myapplication.exe'. Components are in the same feature.

Is the a warning I can ignore? If this is the case, the how-to should mention that this warning can be ignored. If this warning should not be ignored, then the how-to is clearly wrong or incomplete.

WiX version is 3.11.1
