FWIW uninstall working for me from Windows 10's "Apps & features" panel.
Could it be doing something different when done from "Add/Remove
Programs"? And (wild guessing) might that be related to the known bug
about old versions not being uninstalled properly during upgrade?

(You might already be able to tell Windows isn't my main platform, only
having to use it for this! ;-) )

Note that the uninstall is still failing after I removed the spaces from
the app name. I didn't mean to imply these issues were related.

I'm creating a MSI installer. My application name did have spaces in it. I
can confirm that changing the --name parameter to something without spaces
avoids the issue, though this is still clearly a bug that needs to be fixed.
It also seems that uninstall does not work. When I attempt it I get this
error message from Add/Remove Programs:
[Window Title]
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe
[Content]
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not
have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
[OK]
I can run C:\WINDOWS\System32\msiexec.exe, so I'm not clear on what the
real issue is. Maybe a bad message from Windows and the path that can't be
accessed is a parameter to msiexec??
I'm using Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.471]

Simple tests of --win-menu and --win-shortcut options on Windows 7 are
working for me. Shortcuts are created as expected when running either
the exe or msi installer generated.
Can you share the full OS version and full command you use , perhaps
some combination of options is not working.

Are the flags to create shortcuts in the start menu and on the desktop
supposed to be working at this point? I tried them and they had no effect.
