Summary: Broken shortcuts after installation

Initial Comment:
OS: Windows 98 Pan European
MinGW: MINGW32_98-4.10 (2.0.0-3)
MSYS: 1.0.8

Installation of both packages went smoothly, but the
shortcut to MSYS on the desktop (and in the Start menu)
does not work.

It tells that program cannot be run in MS-DOS mode and
offers to close all programs and reboot to MS-DOS
emulation mode. 

When it reboots, it does not find neither sh nor rxvt
(well, I didn't changed PATH manually), and exits.

I created another shortcut file manually (it does not
do any clever checking for OS etc), that starts RXVT.
It works for me.
