We are doing a bit more investigation on each of the different platforms we need to support to see if we can find a pattern.

This may take a while to do due to other things we've got on our plate.

Once we've got some examples and logs I will post the results.

Thanks Damian

What did you have to do one Windows 8?

What does the verbose log file say?

Subject: [wix-users] Windows 10 uninstall of shortcuts failing

Hi,

We are finding that the installer we built with Windows Installer (WiX) does not uninstall its shortcuts on Windows 10. The uninstall works on Windows 7 perfectly fine. We had to make changes when Windows 8/8.1 came out for shortcuts to work.

Has Microsoft changed what needs to be done for shortcuts on Windows 10?
If they have does anyone have a solution?

Has anyone found any other issues with installers on Windows 10?

Thanks
Damian
