Shortcuts in the main menu are not deleted when the application is uninstalled. What's the matter?

Question

visual studio

Hello colleagues.
I recently started learning WiX.
So:...
I have several homogeneous projects, which both in ProgramFiles and in the main menu are combined into one folder, and already inside this folder, each project is installed in its own subfolder. For this, one common wxi-file has been created, which describes how to install everything. For each project, a wxs file has been created in which the nuances of a particular project are defined.
Everything works beautifully, but when uninstalling, a problem appears that I can’t overcome in any way: if one project was installed, then it is uninstalled successfully, and if there are two or more, then the shortcuts from the main menu and the keys written to the registry are not deleted. If there is one installed project left, then its shortcuts and registry keys are deleted normally.
As a result, after installing, say, five projects and then uninstalling them, I am left with garbage in the form of four shortcuts and four keys in the registry associated with installed projects, in addition to the one I deleted last.
Let, for example, one of my projects be called Pjt1.
In VS2013, the WiX Setup Project's SetupPjt1 includes References for the Pjt1 project and WixUIExtention, and adds Project1.wxs files and a shortcut to Common.wxi. In the SetupPjt1 properties on the "Build" tab, the "Cultures to build" property is set to "ru-ru".

What exactly is the problem? How to cleanly uninstall apps?

Answer 1

Managed to resolve the issue myself.
In the ApplicationShortcut component, the Guid must be unique, which means it must be recreated with each Build.

....
<Component Id="ApplicationShortcut" Guid="*">
....

Oh, and this little star drank my blood!!!
