2 entry points for same exe

I am trying to Thinapp a VERY old app called AIMSS 3.2.1. and after install it lists the main exe icon as one entry point and the aimss.exe as another but unchecked by default.

the issue i am having is the primary one it chooses doesn't work and the aimss.exe one does if I included it. I have attached a log file for trying to launch the packing under the shortcut exe that does not function.

ERROR: RelaunchUsingCreateProcess:CreateProcess failed "c:\PHD\ACS_UETN\AIMSS\aimss.exe"

so i am looking for why 2 entry points for the same exe were created? why does one not work when the other none default one does?

Does every Menu icon item need its own exe? like readme.exe? for a readme.txt file.

This old app has 8 exe's is there a way to merge then into 1 and have all the shortcuts still work?

Please help

Thanks

Don

EDIT: wanted to add some more info about this program. Its a training cd and most of the content is on a cd, but the reader of the constant is what we are trying to virtualize. there are a lot of shortcuts missing that are shortcuts that point to pdf files on the cd. the user will have the cd in the drive when they use the app. or work from a file share with the cdrom data.

I would like the shortcuts to be included in the package if possible how do i include those? the main program short cut doesn't seem to work after thinstalled.

More EDIT: it seems the original program shortcut was not correct the start in pointed to a folder that did not exist but the actual shortcut pointed to the correct exe with full path. removing the start in path the capture worked correctly.
