So you mean I have to deal with the uninstall phase myself? (including registry
write and read, and the delete of the virtual directory?)
But when I use the private property, all of these can be done automatically...
Thanks

Store the property in the registry then use RegistrySearch to retrieve it
during uninstallation.

Subject: about public property
Currently I am making an installer for our project.
In the installer, I need to setup a new virtual directory.
I create a public property to record the user input, and link it an edit
control.
Then set the Alias of the WebVirtualDir element with this property.
Here is the problem:
The installation phase is all right, but during uninstallation, the virtual
directory cannot be deleted.
I guess it is because the public property is not recorded in the install
database. So in unintallation phase, we don't know the virtual directory.
Am I right? And how to make this happen?
Here is my wxs file code:
<Dialog Id="CustomizeDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="[ProductName]
[Setup]" NoMinimize="yes" TrackDiskSpace="yes">
<Control Id="VirtualDir" Type="Edit" X="80" Y="195" Width="215" Height="15"
Property="DEFAULTVDIRNAME" Text="{80}" />
...
</Dialog>
<Property Id="DEFAULTVDIRNAME" Value="[ProductName]"/>
<WebSite Id="DefaultWebSite" Description="Default Web Site">
<WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" IP="*" Port="80" />
</WebSite>
<Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'>
<Component Id="WebVirtualDirComponent" Guid="?????">
<WebVirtualDir Id="VirtualDir" Directory="DEFAULTVDIR"
Alias="[DEFAULTVDIRNAME]" WebSite="DefaultWebSite">
<WebApplication Id="Application" Name="[DEFAULTVDIRNAME]" />
</WebVirtualDir>
</Component>
</Directory>
Thanks
