Hi,
I am creating desktop shortcut inside a Component. After installing the product, I renamed the shortcut and performed major upgrade. The upgrade left me with two shortcuts (the original one and the new renamed one). After uninstalling the product, the original shortcut was left orphaned. I did not change the component guid as the shortcut is not keypath. Here is excerpt of my code: <Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs"> <Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="$(var.ProductName)"> <Component Id="Comp_ProgramMenuDir" Guid="{66C429C9-477D-4C48-8B64-0A480F7AB472}"> <RemoveFolder Id='ProgramMenuDir' On='uninstall' /> <RegistryValue Root='HKCU' Key='Software\$(var.Manufacturer)\$(var.ProductName)' Type='string' Value='' KeyPath='yes' /> <Shortcut Id='desktopMyWin' Directory='DesktopFolder' Name='$(var.ProductName) Command Prompt' WorkingDirectory='MyFolder' Icon='MyIcon.ico' Target='[%ComSpec]' Arguments='[SHELLARGS]' Advertise='no' /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> Can you please help? Thank you!
