Actually it's the other way around, all files that were installed by the installer should get uninstalled unless they're marked as Permanent or Shared. In InstallShield Express 2009, go to the Files pane, right click on a file in the lower right quadrant, choose Properties, select the Advanced tab, and see if the Permanent and/or Shared check boxes are marked. If so, that's the reason they're not getting uninstalled.
Whether or not you can safely change these settings depends of course on the app and which files we're talking about. For example, you probably would not want to uninstall the user's database files that they may have updated. -Rick > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MB > Software Solutions General Account > Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 2:38 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [NF] Installshield 2009 -- uninstall info > > Ok...it must be one of those days.
