you can create shortcut like steps below:

1. Open your ism file with InstallShield 8.
2. Open "Setup Design" under "Organization" on left panel.
3. Create new feature if not exist on middle panel.
4. Create new component if not exist on middle panel.

for creating uninstall shortcut, you need create an bat file "Uninstall.bat" or other application "Uninstall.exe". you need add the commandile into bat file or calling it in exe.
msiexec /x
for example "msiexec /x{8DD7D004-C230-4588-84BC-92640A7FDB62}"

6. add the bat or exe into "component" as set it as key file
7. Open "component" and select "Shortcusts" to create new start menu according to the installshield wizard, and select the bat or exe file.
