Replying to my own message... it seems that the issue of what to do with per-user config during uninstallation is a well-known and thorny one. Best practice seems to be to leave it behind on the machine, such that it will still be there should the user re-install the application (or a later version thereof) at a later date. It certainly simplifies the process, so that's what I'll do.
I found the 'Designed for Windows XP' guidance from Microsoft, but that didn't specify what to do during uninstall. I also found 'Designed for Windows 7' but that's a .xps document... seriously, Microsoft? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/References-for-installation-Best-Practices-tp7108379p7109103.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
