I have a WiX generated installer which copies some simple files into a
directory structure under ProgramFiles.
The issue is, _sometimes_ (about 50% of the time), uninstallation fails to
remove these folders - with no errors in the log file.
My WiX looks like this:
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="CompanyFolder" Name="Company Folder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="Application Folder">
<Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="<GUID>">
With only files underneath.
The only slightly out of the ordinary thing that I am doing is running an exe
installer as a CA which extracts files within this directory structure aswell -
however there is an equivalent uninstall custom action which removes all these
files before the MSI tries to delete anything from the system.
I end up with an empty folder structure:
C:\Program Files\Company Folder\Application Folder\
Remaining on my system, about 50% of the time.
Can anyone point out why this might be happening?
Thanks
