All Pined shortcuts being removed during uninstall

Windows: All Blender Octane Pined shortcuts being removed when running uninstaller for a specific version.

I think this might be more a Windows issue but perhaps devs have some advice?

I usually have several versions of Octane Blender installed (2021 – 2022 test and stable, etc). After installing a new version I uninstall the previous one. Unfortunately, the uninstall processes removes shortcuts for ALL installed Blender Octane versions, not just the single older version I wanted uninstalled. Is there anyway to prevent the uninstaller from automatically deleting all my Blender Octane short cuts pined in start menu?

Same here, quite irritating issue. I guess a simple solution for this would be if installer created shortcuts with version number so it would be unique across all other installations.
