GPO Software Installations always require configuring on first run.

Question

Whenever I push out an MSI through a GPO, the first time a user runs the software after logging in requires Windows 7 to configure the product before it will load up.  With the exception of VMWare 10, this only happens once per usage of the software
per login and is avoided if the shortcuts created with the install aren't used.  If I navigate to the software installation folder and manually run an executable, there is no please wait while windows configures ....  For some lesser applications,
removing the shortcuts from the msi and creating manual shortcuts through GPO, I was able to work around the problem, but it's becoming too much of a hassle to keep doing.
So, my question is, how do I stop Windows from configuring applications on first run that are installed through GPO?
Thanks
