Issue
You pinned ConstructConnect Takeoff to your taskbar and when you close the program you receive the following error and your shortcut disappears:
Discussion
This error occurs if you pin ConstructConnect Takeoff to your taskbar while the program is running.
Because ConstructConnect Takeoff uses a Click-Once installer (so that your program is updated automatically and you do not have to be an admin to install it) the program must be launched using the click-once shortcut not a pinned shortcut created while the program is open/running.
Resolution
Close ConstructConnect Takeoff.
Remove the pinned shortcut from the Taskbar if it is still there (right-click it and then select "Unpin from taskbar").
On your desktop or in your Start Menu locate the shortcut for ConstructConnect Takeoff.
- Desktop shortcut: Click the desktop shortcut and drag-n-drop it to your taskbar (you should see a little popup that reads "Pin to taskbar").
- Start Menu: right-click on the shortcut to the application and select "Pin to Taskbar".

Pin Start Menus shortcut to Taskbar
Now when you click on that pinned shortcut the Click-Once installer can check for updates and then log you into the application.
