One more thing based on the code modified below:
<DirectoryRef Id="BsiServicesFolder">
<Component Id="ApplicationShortcut"
Guid="536EBF29-1507-4246-B0EA-BEA60B76879C">
<Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct"
Name="Uninstall BsiServices"
Description="Uninstalls The Brain"
Target="[System64Folder]msiexec.exe"
Arguments="/x [ProductCode]"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="SERVICEINSTALLDIR" On="uninstall"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="WPFINSTALLDIR" On="uninstall"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="INSTALLATIONINSTALLDIR" On="uninstall"/>
<RegistryValue Root="HKCU" Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]"
Name="installed" Type="integer" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
I get a warning
C:\Projects\BuySeasonsIT\Source\Brain\Trunk\BuyseasonsServices\BsiServices\Product.wxs(319,0):
warning LGHT1076: ICE57: Component 'ApplicationShortcut' has both per-user and
per-machine data with an HKCU Registry KeyPath.
Can I ignore this warning? Can I get rid of it?

Subject: RE: Uninstall shortcut?
I think I figured it out. I was confused since this link was about adding a
shortcut I thought that the registry value had something to do with adding a
remove shortcut. Which after some experimentation I found that the registry key
has nothing to do with. What are the ICE test that you refer to? Looking at
this page
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/create_an_uninstall_shortcut.htm
I see no reference to ICE tests.

In what sense is it not right? It's a registry key private to your installer
which the example creates to meet the requirements of the ICE tests, as
explained in the documentation. If you consider the path or name "not right"
use different ones, as others have already suggested. I wouldn't go anywhere
near Windows Installer's private entries such as the ones you quoted though.
