Pinned application icons get invalidated on uninstall

Hello everybody,
I have build .msi file with a blank wpf application using Advance Installer 20.2 to install and pin to taskbar by right-click manually.
But after I uninstall the application the pinned taskbar icon is invalidated and turns into a blank page.
Does anyone know if there's a way to avoid this?

Thanks!
Best Regards,
Justin

Re: Pinned application icons get invalidated on uninstall

Hello Justin,

The pinned taskbar icon is invalidated because the application is being uninstalled and the shortcut that the icon is pointing to no longer exists.

I'd say this is the normal behavior here and I'm afraid this hasn't something to do with your setup itself.

If you manually add the shortcut, then manually unpinning the invalidated shortcut should work in your case.

Please let me know if you have any other questions and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
