Scripting

Take a "gap" capture:

- Run your MSI
- Start a new capture session
- Rename the MSI's 'Uninstall' registry entry (so that the EXE re-runs the MSI as if it had never been run)
- Re-run the EXE
- Stop the capture
- Add the deltas to the original MSI

This is a worthwile alternative to simply recreating the missing shortcuts, as the EXE may be making other changes, too. For example, it isn't unknown for vendors to undo in an EXE changes which the embedded MSI makes!
