What I did as I wrote is having the exe file in one component on top feature level and for each sub feature I created a component without any files and include shortcut to the exe And take the icon from that .exe, each component have different GUID. Problem is on uninstall that several shortcuts are now removed and in the msi log file I see this 'NewShortcut20' shortcut's, LOGER_LITE__64_Shortcut' component will not be removed, so that 'NewShortcut20_63679A51C9AB417BAB5FB01AC17ACEA5.exe' icon will not be removed. Any idea what is the cause ? ... View more
