izpack does not create shortcut on Windows 8 x64 - izpack

Question

I have IzPack installation for jar executable.
ShortcutPanel is declared, shortcutSpec.xml is picked up well and install.xml contains
<natives>
<native type="izpack" name="ShellLink.dll"/>
<native type="izpack" name="ShellLink_x64.dll"/>
</natives>
In resulting installer jar, I see both above mentioned DLLs under the following path:
com\izforge\izpack\bin\native\izpack\
Installation goes through "Create shortcut" panel but no shortcuts created in programs or desktop, although "shortcut" tag has:
programGroup="true"
desktop="true"
applications="true"
startMenu="false"
startup="false"
When turned DEBUG on for installation, I see the following:

I am not sure whether 32-bit DLL error it is critical, because installation must use 64-bit one, which is also provided. But there are no traces of using ShellLink_x64.dll in log at all.
Also the script contains
<run-privileged/>
so it works under admin rights.
Any ideas ?

Answer 1

I've downgraded from IzPack 5.1.2 to 5.0.6 and it worked, with the same scripts.
Noticed that com\izforge\izpack\bin\native\ in resulting JAR now contains more folders and DLLs, not only ShellLink.dll and ShellLink_x64.dll .
