[izpack-users] quotes in Windows shortcut definitions

When creating shortcuts for starting installed application on Windows I 
am having problems with the strings not being quoted properly. Using the 
definition below. The 'target' definition never includes the quote at 
the beginning of the string. The workingDirectory definition works fine. 
Is this a bug or do I have something wrong with the definition?

<shortcut
     name="MyApplication"
     programGroup="yes"
     desktop="no"
     applications="no"
     startMenu="no"
     startup="no"
     target="&quot;$INSTALL_PATH\bin\my_app.bat&quot;"
     commandLine=""
     workingDirectory="&quot;$INSTALL_PATH\bin&quot;"
     iconFile="$INSTALL_PATH\images\my_icon.ico"
     initialState="noshow"
     description="Startup of  services.">
   
     <createForPack name="MyPack"/>
     
   </shortcut>
