In some ways the ICE error reflects the fact that you are trying to deal with two separate things here, one for the user and one for the service.
The service doesn't need a shortcut. It needs only the ProductCode somewhere in the registry where it can find it, and frankly I wouldn't use msiexec.exe I'd use the actual API because you're writing code there, not typing commands into a command prompt. Use MsiConfigureProduct (...INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT). You may need to set the UI level to nothing to avoid showing UI from a service - use MsiSetInternalUI before you do the uninstall. So put that ProductID somewhere away from the shortcut component. The shortcut component can then be a bona fide user shortcut built to avoid the ICE error.
