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
natively by the Windows Installer. There is a CustomAction out there
that will do this correctly (with rollback and all that good stuff). Bob
is getting it set up.

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

Hi All,
I have some issue in Removing the Folder during uninstallation. Please

Hi Rob,
Does IIswebsite issue (to read IIsWebSite table(-2147024891)) also come on
Server 2008 having IIS 7 installed?
I was checking the bug database and most of the bugs are closed automatically
as no one

Maybe you could give a try to visual designer that is a part of wixEdit
http://wixedit.sourceforge.net/
You can create/change the dialogs in a very simple way there.

Hi:
As I visually impaired user I could do with some help laying out a WiX
dialog.
Would anybody be prepared to help me with this?
I know what elements I need, so you can probably adapt one of the
existing dialogues!
If you can help please write me off-list.
Regards and thanks in advance.
Sean.

Check a verbose log. WiX custom actions log fairly detailed error
