I based my code on this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3287626/wix-installer-remove-files-on-uninstall-but-not-on-upgrade
I saw no complaints about the suggested answer so I assumed it worked. But when
I adapted to my code it does nothing.
In product.wxs:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After='InstallFinalize'>1</RemoveExistingProducts>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
And in my main installation directory I added:
<Component Id="RemoveFilesComponent"
Guid="A749202E-E09A-4DED-B205-337B0E7FB736">
<RemoveFile Id="R1" On="both" Name="filexyz.exe"/>
</Component>
The installer runs and completes without error or warnings, but filexyz.exe is
not removed. As an experiment I tried "*.*", but that didn't remove anything
neither.
The msi.log shows RemoveExistingProducts being invoked, but it doesn't remove
anything.
What am I missing?
