Yes, the shortcuts do remain if I remove the older version without installing
the newer version.
Code for shortcuts in new version:
<!-- Declare Start Menu Shortcuts -->
<DirectoryRef Id="ProgramMenuFolder">
<Directory Id="TFirmwareUtilFolder" Name="$(var.ProductName)">
<Component Id="ShortcutComponent"
Guid="{B4BD1198-1A40-4138-9E8D-3B3AD383D9D6}">
<Shortcut Id="startmenuTfirmwareutil"
Name="$(var.ProductName)"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
Target="[INSTALLDIR]$(var.ExeName)"
Icon="AppIcon"
IconIndex="0" />
<Shortcut Id="TFUUsersGuide"
Name="$(var.ProductName) Users Guide.pdf"
Target="[INSTALLDIR] Firmware Update Users Guide.pdf" />
<Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
Name="Uninstall $(var.ProductName)"
Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe"
Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"
Description="Uninstalls $(var.ProductName)" />
<RegistryValue Root="HKMU" Key="$(var.RegistryKey)" Name="installed"
Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes" />
<RemoveFolder Id="TFirmwareUtilFolder" On="uninstall" />
<RemoveFolder Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Directory="ProgramMenuFolder"
On="uninstall" />
</Component>
</Directory>
</DirectoryRef>
<!-- Declare Desktop Shortcut -->
<DirectoryRef Id="DesktopFolder">
<Component Id="DesktopComponent"
Guid="{536F3500-D603-4D59-B4B7-DC7CAFEB7B01}">
<CreateFolder />
<RegistryKey Root="HKMU"
Key="$(var.RegistryKey)"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Name="DTSC" Value="1" Type="integer" KeyPath="yes"/>
</RegistryKey>
<Shortcut Id="desktopShortcut"
Directory="DesktopFolder"
Name="$(var.ProductName)"
WorkingDirectory='INSTALLDIR'
Target="[INSTALLDIR]$(var.ExeName)"
Icon="AppIcon" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
For the old version, I only have the .msi and not the associated code.
According to the table in Orca:
Shortcut Directory Name
Component Target
New_Shortcut_S3740 newfolder1 TABLEA~1|Firmware Update
tabup.exe2 AlwaysInstall
NewShortcut2 newfolder1 TABLEA~1|Firmware Update User's Guide
ISX_DEFAULTCOMPONENT_2 [INSTALLDIR]Firmware_Update_Users_Guide.pdf
NewShortcut3 newfolder1 UNINST~1|Uninstall Firmware Update
ISX_DEFAULTCOMPONENT_2 [SystemFolder]Msi.Exec.exe
New_Shortcut_S3815 DesktopFolder TABLEA~1|Firmware Update
tabup.exe2 AlwaysInstall
For comparison purposes, here is the table in Orca for the new code:
Shortcut Directory Name
Component Target
desktopShortcut DesktopFolder xxwpvyht|Firmware Update
DesktopComponent [INSTALLDIR]tabup.exe
startmenuTfirmwareutil TFirmwareUtilFolder ziyqatsf|Firmware Update
ShortcutComponent [INSTALLDIR]tabup.exe

Users Guide.pdf ShortcutComponent [INSTALLDIR]Firmware Update Users

UninstallProduct TFirmwareUtilFolder z2qb0bcp|Uninstall Firmware
Update ShortcutComponent [System64Folder]msiexec.exe
Again, thanks for your help.

If you simply remove the older version (without installing the newer
version), do the shortcuts remain?
What is your associated code for the shortcuts in both old and new versions?

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade Help
Hello,
I am working on creating a wix installer to upgrade an existing application.
If I try to install an older version of the application, the installer
indicates that a newer version is installed and exits the setup as expected.
The issue I am having occurs when a newer version is detected and an
upgrade occurs. In the older versions of the installer, the application is
under the start menu as [Application Name] -> application, uninstall, user's
guide. In the newer version, the setup for the start menu is [company name]
-> [application name] -> application, uninstall, user's guide.
When I try to upgrade, the newer version is added and, in the Program Files
directory, the files are changed. But, the desktop icon and the start menu
shortcuts remain. Is there a way for me to remove the old shortcuts using a
standard action?
Below is the upgrade code I currently have:
<!-- Upgrade Information -->
<Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="0.0.0"
Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="yes"
Language="1033"
Property="OLDUPGRADE" />
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
OnlyDetect="yes"
Language="1033"
Property="DETECTNEW" />
</Upgrade>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<Condition Message="A later version of [ProductName] is already
installed. Setup will now exit.">
NOT DETECTNEW OR Installed
</Condition>
<!-- On upgrade find out the install directory -->
<CustomAction Id="SaveTargetDir" Property="ARPINSTALLLOCATION"
Value="[INSTALLDIR]" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="SaveTargetDir" After="InstallValidate">
NOT
Installed
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<InstallUISequence>
<!-- App search is what does FindInstallLocation, and it is dependent
on FindRelatedProducts -->
<AppSearch After="FindRelatedProducts" />
</InstallUISequence>
<!-- Find previous installation location -->
<Property Id="INSTALLDIR">
<RegistrySearch Id="FindInstallation"
Root="HKLM"
Key="$(var.RegistryKey)"
Name="InstallDir"
Type="raw" />
</Property>
Thanks for your help,
Katelyn
