I have this problem, too; would you be so kind as to elaborate on how to
write this "2 line custom installer DLL?"
Thanks, RD
At this point, rather than trying to find out why it's doing this, I'd
just create a 2 line custom installer DLL that deletes the shortcut
manually.

Chris,
Few other people had the same problem it seems. They posted the
same
question and they didn't get any answer. Luckily, I am getting
answers from
you. Thank you,Chris.
No....the app was not running when I unistalled... and I double
checked.
Even if the app was running, I can't get to remove the Application
itself.
When I uninstall the app gets ermoved successfully, but not shortcut.
Thanks!!

It looks right. The only thing I can guess is that the installer
failug
during the uninstall before it removes the shortcut. Is the app
still
running when you uninstall maybe?

Can you show the relevent section of the INF file that Studio
generates
for
this?

Chris,
Using VS 2005, I created a smartdeviceProject and I
created a
shortcut to the Primary output. Then added a special folder
StartupMenus
and
put the shortcut into taht special folder. When I installed the
app
using
the instasller, it can see the shortcut. But when I uninstall,
the
shortcut
still remains there. Whn I re-install there another shortcut is
added.
Where
as when I created an msi with in VS2003, when I unistall, it
removes
the
short cut.
Thanks!!

How are you adding it? How are you attempting to remove it?
-Chris
Hi all,
I managed to get shortcuts added to the start menu, but when
I
uninstall
the application, these shortcuts are not removed and when I
re-install
the
application, yet another shortcut is added (a duplicate one).
Please let me know a solution for this problem...
Thanks!
