.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / December 2006Pocket PC Application shortcut
Hi all, I managed to get shortcuts added to the start menu, but when I uninstall the application, these shortcuts are not removed and when I re-install the application, yet another shortcut is added (a duplicate one). Please let me know a solution for this problem... Thanks! How are you adding it? How are you attempting to remove it? -Chris > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Please let me know a solution for this problem... > Thanks! Chris, Using VS 2005, I created a smartdeviceProject and I created a shortcut to the Primary output. Then added a special folder StartupMenus and put the shortcut into taht special folder. When I installed the app using the instasller, it can see the shortcut. But when I uninstall, the shortcut still remains there. Whn I re-install there another shortcut is added. Where as when I created an msi with in VS2003, when I unistall, it removes the short cut. Thanks!! -Malathi > How are you adding it?

The only thing I can guess is that the installer failug during the uninstall before it removes the shortcut. Is the app still running when you uninstall maybe?

Chris, Few other people had the same problem it seems. They posted the same question and they didn't get any answer. Luckily, I am getting answers from you. Thank you,Chris. No....the app was not running when I unistalled... and I double checked. Even if the app was running, I can't get to remove the Application itself. When I uninstall the app gets ermoved successfully, but not shortcut. Thanks!! > It looks right.

At this point, rather than trying to find out why it's doing this, I'd just create a 2 line custom installer DLL that deletes the shortcut manually.
