If I didn't change the version, either one would result in the same behavior. If I changed the version, it would reinstall, but the error would recur. There was something wrong in my sequence of install steps- when I manually made mine match the default, the problem went away.

Thanks, didn't know that so great tip 👍 I'll look into that regkey to see if it has was I need.

Thanks, while it might fix the issue, but: I need to find the root of issue, if this is a limitation of Microsoft MSI projects I can understand, otherwise this solution does not seem to be very perfect, why this should happen at first place? And can you create a sample project with 2 or 3 shortcuts to a single EXE and have them removed after uninstall successfully?

This had to do with my own launch sequence being in error. I reverted to the original sequence with exceptions for my custom code and the upgrades now work fine.

OK, but I'm going to need some help with Step 1. I can create a dialog (CustomShortcut) and populate it with controls. How do I insert it where I want it in the install sequence? I want it to be after CustomSetup and before ReadyToInstall. It seems the only place I can insert it is in SetupInitialization using the wizard. When I look at the documentation, it says I can simply drag and drop, but that only seems to work at the root level of the tree- ie., I can drag SetupInitialization around, but not CustomShortcut, which is no good- I need SetupInitialization where it is, but I don't want the CustomShortcut to fire immediately after. Thanks!

Answered my own question. Just for completeness, I'll finish my question/guide, in the hopes it will help someone here. The location of the key changed sometime between 5.0.3 and 5.0.14- it no longer looks for a GUID. Now it looks for the version number in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\dotnet\Setup\InstalledVersions\x64\sharedhost\Version

Thank you, but that's not what I'm looking for. Latest and Greatest may have been misleading. I was hoping I'd be able to make my own, but I'm OK with asking for them here if that's an option. I would like the latest versions of .NET 5 Desktop Runtime, the .NET Core Runtime 5, and the latest version of ASP.NET Core Runtime 5.
