Cheers,

I need to rename a start-menu shortcut in an upgrade installer.  Right now, it simply adds a new shortcut without deleting the old one.  When the second installer is uninstalled, the old shortcut remains.  What can I do to eliminate this phantom shortcut altogether?

Also, I am using the registry to maintain config data for my app.  I would like to add default values if they do not already exist, but not overwrite a pre-existing configuration.  Can somebody point me to a doc that explains how to add registry setting conditionally?

-Steve

A previous poster with this issue used the RemoveFiles table to remove the .LNK  shortcut file.
