During an installation or major upgrade, if a user has pinned the
application to their task bar, then after the installation has completed,
the taskbar shortcut is removed from "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar". The shortcut remains inside the
taskbar, but a blank-file icon (see image link below) is left in its place.
Clicking the shortcut will cause it to disappear immediately.

I would like to make it such that the taskbar shortcut is not removed at
all when installing or running a major upgrade. It can be frustrating if
the taskbar shortcut breaks during every update (updates are weekly).

Is this possible? I've read about modifying the value for
RemoveExistingProducts (i.e. changing from InstallValidate to
InstallFinalize), but I do not know if this will be viable alternative at
this point due to the components used.

Thanks.
