Hi Sebastian, the code looks like: <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="PMenu" LongName="Programs"> <Directory Id="DesktopToolDir" Name="DsktopTool" LongName="NPU Desktop Tool" > <Directory Id="DesktopToolDocDir" Name="DocDir" LongName="Documentation" /> <Directory Id="DesktopToolSampleDir" Name="ToolSmple" LongName="Sample Applications" /> </Directory> </Directory>
<Component Guid="0C9697B2-4E9C-42FE-B0B2-3B66D3FE79C0" Id="uxpatterns_app_files"> <File Id='Bin_ToolPatterns_exe' DiskId='1' Vital='yes' Name='UXPatt.exe' LongName='ToolPatterns.exe' Source='ToolPatternsPatterns.exe'> <Shortcut Id="shortcut_toolviewer_exe" Directory="DesktopToolDir" Name="s_toolpv" LongName="Tool Patterns Viewer" /> </File> </Component> But I cannot find any relationship with code as for this issue. I just found that after uninstalling, indeed the shortcut are left in the Start->All Programs->NPU Desktop Tool->Tool Patterns Viewer, and if click on it, not any response. However, what is wired is that when I click Start->All Programs, and then right click, choose properties and click OK, here at this point to see the shortcut, it disappears. I am really confused about this issue and cannot find any clue from the source code. Any suggestions?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] A issue when uninstalling--unable to remove shortcut Hi Tuanqing, Can you post some Wix code you are using? Is it possible that the shortcut gets modified somehow (maybe it links to DOS command which automatically modifies .lnk to .pif files) Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Setup - Creating WiX-based MSI installations, elegantly. http://www.instyler.com -----Original Message----- From: Tuanqing Zhang (MDT InfoTech) [mailto:v-tua...@microsoft.com] Sent: July 20, 2009 7:03 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] A issue when uninstalling--unable to remove shortcut Hi all, I'm using wix 2.0 to create an installer for my application. When installing, everything is ok. But when uninstalling, something strange happens. On 32bit Vista, All shortcuts seems to be removed based on the log file, but there are still an shortcut link left in the start menu. There are four shortcuts in total, the rest three shortcuts are removed except this only one. While in 64bit XP, everything are removed clearly and sure the shortcut link is also removed. Does anyone encounter similar issue?
