Re: [WiX-users] Need help with uninstall - doesn't remove files/folders
You seem to have broken component rules for minor upgrades https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367850%28v=vs.85%29.aspx which caused feature states to be advertised rather than installed. Try generating a patch package for the minor upgrade to get the validation errors. - Nir Bar Freelance Developer Mail: nir@panel-sw.com Web: www.panel-sw.com - C++ On Windows, Linux and Embedded Platforms - WiX InstallShield -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Need-help-with-uninstall-doesn-t-remove-files-folders-tp7600353p7600356.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
