[WiX-users] fold not being removed on uninstall: sporadic

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:

In my experience Interop files don't need to be registered, so you could just remove the class information. Also, in your bug report it would be useful if you could include a sample wxs output and if possible the file that is causing the problem. Neil -Original Message- From: David Bartme
