After Update Icon Is Gone

I updated DVDA 5.0 to build 186. After updating it removed my icon from desktop and I cannot find a way of restoring it. I go to all programs, under Sony there is no DVDA. Any suggestions, thanks.

When you enter "dvdarch" in the Start bar, is "dvdarchitectpro5.2.135.exe" (or something like that) at the top of the list?

When I begin to enter dvdarch I get dvdarchitectstudio5.0.186, which is the set up file that is found in my download folder.

What if you browse to C:/PROGRAM FILES (X86)/SONY/DVD ARCHITECT [VERSION] and double-click the dvdarch50.exe file?

Tried that, but there is no exe. file. Several dlls

There's no exe file? Even after re-installing the software?

You definitely need to run a Malware Bytes scan!

No way of opening. Just unistalled using Revo Uninstaller then reinstalled the updated package.

For what it's worth, I just experienced the very same scenario. I downloaded and executed build 186 and all visibility to my Studio DVD Architect 5.0 software was gone; start menu icon disappeared and no sign of the program executable.

I guess I should have paid better attention to the previous post. Once I unistalled the original program (build 128) I was able to successfully install the new version.
