Create a shortcut on Uninstall action

We have a Basic MSI project that was created with IS2008 and has lots of InstallScript code that we want to drop.

We're creating a shortcut when user uninstalls our software to an executable, located on user machine %appdata%\Product\DbUninstaller.exe that uninstalls SQL Server 2005 database and instance that we create on Install.

This is done in InstallScript and we want to remove this piece of InstallScript and replace it with Components/features.

The question is: is it possible to create a shortcut during Uninstall action to the installed executable file? If yes, please tell me how to do that.

Perhaps having shortcut and exe in APPDATA is not a good approach, so if someone has ideas on how to do this in a right way, you're welcome 🙂

Cheers,
Alex
