Is it a known MSI issue that Vista doesn't refresh the start menu
completely after uninstalling a product?

 

The problem I see is that the product folder for my start menu icons do
not appear to be removed after uninstalling my product.  When I check
the actual folder mapped for the start menu, the folder is actually
removed properly, but an empty folder is displayed under All Programs.
The icons themselves and some subfolders are removed, however the main
folder is still displayed as (empty).  

 

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Product

 

Once I log off and log back in, the removed folder is no longer
displayed in the start menu.

 

My product is installed with ALLUSERS=1 and I'm running on Vista
Ultimate x86 SP1.  I also have that specific folder set to be removed in
the RemoveFile table (also to avoid ICE errors).

 

Thanks,

Mike Ballou
