>From the documentation:
The folder must be specified in the Property attribute as the name of a
property that will have a value that resolves to the full path of the folder
before the CostInitialize action. Note that Directory ids cannot be used. For
more details, see the Remarks.
Before CostInitialize is critical. If it is defined only after CostInitialize,
you will get exactly the behavior you are experiencing.
Note also that:
<Property Id="INSTALLATIONPATHPROPERTY"
Secure="yes"
Value="[INSTALLATIONPATH]" />
won't work. The Property element does not handle formatted entities. So, what
you have done is set INSTALLATIONPATHPROPERTY literally to "[INSTALLATIONPATH]"
which will never work.

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall and util:RemoveFolderEx - not working
Hi,
util:RemoveFolderEx - doesn't seem to work..
I'm trying to delete the installation folder and its contents upon uninstall
(the contents were created after installation by the app so they are left on
the drive after uninstall).
What am I doing wrong?
code:
<Property Id="INSTALLATIONPATHPROPERTY"
Secure="yes"
Value="[INSTALLATIONPATH]" />
<Feature>..
<Component Id="InstalladtionPathCleanup"
Directory="InstallationPath"
Guid="897CEC8C-2633-4019-A1BA-15038A4FFBDE">
<Condition>
</Condition>
<CreateFolder Directory="InstallationPath" />
<util:RemoveFolderEx On="uninstall"
Property="INSTALLATIONPATHPROPERTY" />
</Component>
remarks:
1. SHOULDDELETEINSTALLATIONFOLDER - is a parameter I pass inside from my
managed bootstrapper application.
2. InstallationPath is defined like this:
<SetDirectory Id="InstallationPath"
Value="[INSTALLATIONPATH]" /> and is also passed from managed
bootstrapper application
anyone?
