Hi Fokes:
I've got the following installer code that creates some folders with components
in:
<Directory Id="COMPANYDATAFOLDER" Name="Raised Bar">
<Directory Id="ProductDataFolder" Name="Surface Reader">
<Directory Id="ProtocolsDataFolder" Name="Protocols">
<Component Id="MackieProtocol"
Guid="9FEBA063-8B6B-46D7-9FF5-DEB91E334DC6">
<File Id="Mackiesrp" Source="files\program
data\protocols\Mackie Control.SRP"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="SurfacesDataFolder" Name="Surfaces">
</Directory>
<Directory Id="AppsDataFolder" Name="Apps">
<Component Id="SonarMackieAppConfig"
Guid="4C44EB15-BF98-45A7-9A25-F1F714C1E2DC">
<File Id="SonarMackieSra" Source="files\program
data\apps\SONARPDR.EXE-Mackie Control.SRA"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
The folders I'm creating are not being removed on uninstall.
I'm aware of the component guid not needing to be empty, but as this is a
weekly release of 3.6, I didn't think that now applied.
I've then tried adding a registry key for the folder I wish to remove and using
the RemoveFoldersEx from the util extension as follows:
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Raised Bar\Surface
Reader\$(var.SRMajorMinor)">
<RegistryValue Name="InstallRoot" Value="[INSTALLFOLDER]"
Type="string"/>
<RegistryValue Name="ProductVersion" Value="[ProductVersion]"
Type="string" />
<RegistryValue Name="DataFolder" Value="[COMPANYDATAFOLDER]"
Type="string"/>
</RegistryKey>
<util:RemoveFolderEx Id="RemoveDataFolder" On="uninstall"
Property="COMPANYDATAFOLDERPROPERTY"/>
The property/registry search looks as follows:
<Property Id="COMPANYDATAFOLDERPROPERTY">
<RegistrySearch Id="CompanyDataFolderSearch"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Raised Bar\Surface
Reader\$(var.SRMajorMinor)" Name="DataFolder"
Type="raw" Win64="$(var.Win64)" />
</Property>
Any idea why folders aren't being removed. If I use a create folder element,
this works fine, I was under the impression that if compoents were contained
within features then all this would work.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Sean.
