Title: [WiX-users] Remove folder while uninstalling application

Voranc,

 

First off, creating temp files in your program files folder is something you may want to reconsider. Since normal users don't have write access to the program files folder, you will force your users to run your application with administrator priviliges. This may create a security risk.

 

As an answer to your problem, you may be interested in the RemoveFile element, as documented here:

I hope that answers your question, if not, feel free to come back to this list.

 

Frederik.

Onderwerp: [WiX-users] Remove folder while uninstalling application

Hello!

My installation create some folders on disk. For instance:

- dir1
   - dir1.1
   - dir1.2
      - dir1.2.1
   - dir1.3
   ...

While using my application some (temp files with random names) files
are created in directory "dir1.2.1". The problem is that while
uninstalling application  directory "dir1/dir1.2/dir1.2.1" with all
files in it is not deleted (all other directories are deleted: dir1.1,
dir1.3,...).

How can I delete directory "dir1/dir1.2/dir1.2.1" and all files in it
while uninstalling application?

Thanks,
Voranc
