Could you please tell more about the custom action to delete a
directory tree. I am currently using a C++ custom action to delete
directory structure on uninstall. But i love to use a custom action
with roll-back stuff.

Ahh, you want to delete a directory *tree*. That is not supported

Let me try and express it better:
The files I want to delete are under a certain directory that the MSI
sets up to place them in, but could have any name, and be in (created by
my program) subdirectories of that directory, and that's the only thing
I know about them.
They would be useless without
I'm a little confused by this requirement. Are you saying you won't know
where the files you want to delete exist? How is a CustomAction going to
know any better?

I should have specified that I was assuming that there was no way to
know what the additional files were named or where they were located -
which would be logical for logging directories.
I was told (I think by you) that to do that, it required a CA to tell
Windows Installer what additional files
Why do you need a CustomAction? RemoveFiles is a standard action and
will handle rollback for you.

If the folder has files in it the MSI didn't put there, it won't get
deleted unless you have a custom action delete the files first (or tell

If you want source for such a custom action, try
