If the table doesn't have anything in it, light will generally not generate it. There are some tables that it generates even if empty, but CreateFolders is not one of them. This saves some space in the MSI that would be taken up by the table's metadata.

I believe that means that the rules for removing the directory are the same as if there had been a <File> element in the directory. Still I wonder about the error message "The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table.". It sounds like there is a table called "CreateFolders", opening Orca, I cannot find a table by that name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
