Hello Folks, I am using toolset 3.0.2420.0. With the minimal code below, *I am unable to uninstall files from any path except the default path*. It took me a couple of days to track down what was happening. Initially I assumed I had messed up something simple. After much frustration I final

[WiX-users] Uninstall only works in the default path

2007-04-04 Thread Jason Van Eaton
I have a weird bug. When installing to the default path, uninstall works correctly. When installing to any other path, uninstall succeeds (that is to say there are no errors) but it forgets to remove the files. Even if I have a bug in my xml, it seems there must be a bug in WIX as well, since

I am not overly fond of removing user data either. However, the PM has asked for there to be an option (not enabled by default) to allow the user to delete everything if they like. Richard uses a thoughtful example to make the point about the potential futility of trying to know what files wil

Hello folks, I had a functional install working. Everything was being installed to "Program Files". I guess that is what we would call a 'per-machine' install. Someone suggested to me that I should make it a 'per-user' install. Naively, I thought I could just change the folder from ProgramF
