might help to specify what your script does - or better yet, paste as much code as you can. I'd guess you're doing something with the desktop/explorer/shell - but there's no way to tell without further information :)

it installs a messenger by copying some images, dlls and exe file in program files directory on windows vista.
it majorly happens when the product is upgraded.
by upgraded i mean, when the product is already running and the installer closes that program and installs the product by overwriting the existing files, all desktop icons disappear.
