Files are created under "Program Files".
Thing is that actually directories and files are created inside this problematic directory. So after some time my initial directory structure:
- dir1
- dir1.1
- dir1.2
- dir1.2.1
- dir1.3
...
looks like this (for example):
- dir1
- dir1.1
- dir1.2
- dir1.2.1
- tmpdir1
- tempfile1.1
- tempfile1.2
- tmpdir2
- tempfile2.1
- dir1.3
...
The problem is that directory "dir1.2.1" include new directories and files inside them. I really don't know how to use element <RemoveFile> to delete directory "dir1.2.1" (while uninstall) with all its subdirectories and files. Is it possible to recursively delete directory structure while uninstall?
Thanks,
Voranc
