I had this problem a while ago. From looking at the logs, it turned out 
that the underlying file the shortcut referred to could not be 
uninstalled because of an issue with the old product uninstall. Because 
of that, the old shortcut was not removed. My guess is that something is 
breaking on your uninstall of the old version (not getting completely 
uninstalled). Check your logs for hints.
