Native Aware App: Shortcut doesn't remove on delete and loses icon on update

[jroweboy]

I'm working on integrating squirrel with a native squirrel aware application and I'm having issues with handling shortcuts. On uninstall, my squirrel aware application gets the tries to run Update.exe --removeShortcut="updater.exe" but that fails with the following log. It looks like its its trying to check for the RELEASES file for some reason, but of course since its already uninstalled, its not there anymore.

2016-09-14 22:51:48> Program: Starting Squirrel Updater: --removeShortcut=updater.exe

   at Squirrel.Update.Program.main(String[] args)

Another issue I'm facing is the icon on the shortcuts seems to be tied to a specific version of the application. After the first installed version has been updated twice, the icon for the application becomes the default shortcut icon, instead of the application icon (as a quick note, the shortcut still works, its just the wrong icon). Is there some way for me to update the icon without removing it and recreating it on update? It seems like that is a bad way to fix this since if the user has moved the desktop icon, everytime the application updates, it'll move back to the default location.

As for the second issue (application icon becoming the default shortcut icon), I found that by calling Update.exe and removing the shortcut and recreating the shortcut not only fixes it, but it also doesn't move the icon on the desktop, which means its a workaround.

The first part is still an issue though.

@jroweboy I had an issue where uninstalling did nothing at all
