Steps to reproduce

  1. Install MSER 0.7.3.0
  2. Uninstall MSER
  3. Select an Edge link from the start menu or desktop

✔️ Expected Behavior

Edge should open

❌ Actual Behavior

A Windows error dialog opens reporting that the item'msedge.exe' referenced by the shortcut has been changed or moved and offers to remove the shortcut.

FWIW, the Edge shortcuts seem to continue to work correctly after uninstalling MSER 0.7.2.0

I'm a new user of MSEdgeRedirect and after uninstalling 0.7.3.0 i also get a default Windows icon on my desktop telling me it can't find the exe file.

If i install MSEdgeRedirect again it seems that MSEdgeRedirect is not working and when i use search nothing happens. 😥

It seems that MSEdgeRedirect need to repair what it has broken.

I tried to reboot, but it didn't fixed the issue.

I also tried Wedge, but it is also broken after uninstalling MSEdgeRedirect

After copying the following files: delegatedWebFeatures.sccd, msedge.exe, msedge_proxy.exe and pwahelper.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\111.0.1661.41\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\ it is working again.
