Actally I didn't download the merge modules, just got them from the VS installation. I don't think I can suggest anything else. I don't know what you mean by it creating another setup.exe, your just replacing one set of merge modules with another right? As for the size difference, the .exe must be compressed differently, looks like you'll have to live with a couple of megabytes. By the sounds of your new msm sizes, it looks like you are in fact using SP1, so you dont want to use that redist .exe anyway.

I downloaded the merge modules from Microsoft. I required the SP1 versions, and the total is only 4mb, which is the same as the redistributable .exe. You can check that those work for you. I don't know why there would be such a difference is sizes. Actually the merge modules are in the VS installation, use those instead of the installshield ones.

Unfortunately, that's not it. I am at a loss, I've tried everything. Looks like I'll need to find the best way to manually remove these.

No it's not. The components get removed, just not the shortcuts. The only thing I'm doing different is I manually set the string that contains the product name and version, this is used in both the start menu program directory name and the desktop name. I also change INSTALLDIR in the files view. Even if there was an issue there, why is this only happening if another version exists?

When uninstalling, shortcuts are not removed, BUT ONLY when another version of the product is installed, in other words, chose not to do a major upgrade (set PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED=""). Project was upgraded from IS11, the desktop shortcut is linked to a component with no file, just used for user selected condition. Program menu directory contains shortcuts to components with files in INSTALLDIR. All of the files are removed, but INSTALLDIR itself is not, and none of those shortcuts are. All of the shorctuts are created normally, nothing special here. Any ideas?
