When uninstalling my app I'm getting this warning dialog coming up with:
Warning 1910.Could not remove Shortcut My App.lnk. Verify that the
shortcut file exists and that you can access it.
The shortcut disappears from the desktop but re-appears if I hit refresh
(F5) on the Desktop.
Here's the msi log entries for this part:

Here's my WiX entries for this shortcut...
<Fragment>
<!-- define global icon -->
<Icon Id="icon.ico"
SourceFile="$(var.MyApp.ProjectDir)Images\Player.ico"/>
<!-- set add/remove programs icon-->
<Property Id="ARPPRODUCTICON" Value="icon.ico" />
</Fragment>
<!-- single files/components -->

<ComponentGroup Id="ProgramComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">

<util:RemoveFolderEx Id="CleanupApplicationFolder"

</Component>
<Component Id="ProgramComponent">
<File Id="MainExe" Source="$(var.MyApp.TargetPath)" Vital="yes"

</Component>
This seems to be a fairly common problem but I haven't seen a solution
yet. I tried MSIEXEC /Unregister | MSIEXEC /RegServer without success. I
also changed permissions on the Security tab of the Shortcut to give
Everyone Full Control with no luck either.
Is this a configuration issue or something else?
Cheers
Dave
