How to remove icon of a shortcut from desktop
Hi,
IS Script MSI project with IS 2008.
I started the project by converting from DevStudio9 to IS2008. There is one issue: after upgrading using my new build on top of a previous release, every thing is fine. But when I do uninstall, a shortcut icon is left on desktop. The shortcut folder and the linked file have been removed in the uninstall. If I clicke on the icon, it will pop up error saying the linked file/folder doesn't exist or things like. When I tried install/uninstall on both of the previous release and my new build, all works fine: the shortcut (including icon at desktop) is created at install and removed at uninstall.
I know the AddFolderIcon() and DeleteFolderIcon() worked in the code, but why is the icon left on desktop? Can I force it to be removed (after uninstall)?
Thanks,
Peter
