Hi Nir, Thanks for the info. Does the <CreateFolder /> removes the main folder where all my components will be installed. I should also be removing the folder that could be created by the executable. ie consider apps and temp inside the main folder. I tried:
<RemoveFolder Id="LeftOverAppsRemove" On="uninstall" Directory="apps"/> <RemoveFolder Id="LeftOverTempRemove" On="uninstall" Directory="temp"/> but during the compilation I get "Unresolved reference to symbol 'Directory:apps' in section 'Fragment:' ". How can I delete the leftover folder adding it in above code.
