Acrobat Reader 2017 start menu shortcut not removed after installing Reader 2020

After installing Acrobat Reader 2020, the start menu shortcut from the previous installed version of Reader (2017) is still found in the start menu. Is the Reader 2020 installer expected to remove the Reader 2017 start menu shortcut? This does not occur if the base version of Reader 2017 (17.008.30051) is installed prior to installing Reader 2020.

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Windows 10 Enterprise.

2. Install Adobe Reader 2017 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe). Setup.ini includes PATCH command under [Product] section as shown below.

PATCH=AcroRdr2017Upd1701130196_MUI.msp

3. Install Adobe Reader 2020 (Classic Track) using bootstrapper installation (setup.exe).
