Make sure you have separated the parameters from the target file.

For example, if you want to create a shortcut to notepad with $INSTDIR\Readme.txt as a parameter don't use:

CreateShortcut "myshortcut.lnk" "notepad.exe $INSTDIR\Readme.txt"

Use two separate strings:

CreateShortcut "myshortcut.lnk" "notepad.exe" "$INSTDIR\Readme.txt"
