It is also cutting off the "-" part. I am not sure why on this one.

Not quite so sure why, but it appears that creating a Var for it and building the string in a StrCpy worked.

StrCpy $ShortcutParameter "-conf $\"$InstDir\DosConfig.conf$\""
CreateShortCut $InstDir\Prog.lnk "$PROGRAMFILES\DOS\DOSEmu.exe" "$ShortcutParameter"
