If I understand your problem correctly the older shortcuts don't work because they link to the older version. Delete the shortcut before upgrading. The upgrade usually provide a new shortcut.
I've had this happen when upgrading many programs such as AVG and ZoneAlarm. The older shortcuts dont work but the new ones do.
If I misunderstood your problem then just ignore this post as the ramblings of an old codger who sometimes forgets what he reads...
