Resolution
Use an icon in one of the other locations (e.g., Start Menu) to

Additional Information
When the 7-zip application is uninstalled using msiexec without
silent mode, it prompts the user with a dialog saying that windows
explorer has to be closed to continue with un-installation.
The default value is "Automatically close applications and attempt to restart them after setup is complete". When the un-installation is done in silent mode, this option is taken and this is causing the explorer to close.
Note: The un-installation of the 7 zip application from control panel does not need windows explorer to close. This is required only when the un-installation is done from a command prompt.
ZENworks is behaving correctly in this circumstance
