It's to handle roaming users. If you don't have the removefolder you should get an ICE64 that explains why. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369011%28VS.85%29.aspx
-----Original Message----- From: Andreas [mailto:andreassand...@gmx.net] Sent: 19 October 2011 18:19 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] RemoveFolder for shortcut directories I am writing my first WiX experiments... and still learning. When I create a directory structure for the program files I just need the <Directory/> hierarchy and the files. When I create a directory structure for the start menu shortcuts I have to add <RemoveFolder/> items. Why does the MSI installer removes the folders for the program files but requires the RemoveFolder for the start menu directories? -- Andy ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
