This bug opened yesterday since the installer I created using WiX v3.0.2420 and
WixUI_Advanced library didn't uninstall correctly.
I followed instructions on
http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=WixUI_Advanced to setup my wxs file and
I was using a per user installation by default. In both cases (per user/per
machine), uninstall didn't remove all the files because APPLICATIONFOLDER
property's value wasn't being set correctly during uninstallation process. I
have tried using a constant name for APPLICATIONFOLDER property instead of
[ApplicationFolderName]. This time uninstall only worked for per machine
installs since APPLICATIONFOLDER property was correct for per machine installs.
In both cases install worked correctly placing files either under Program
Files, or UserAppData folder.
The bug was closed stating that wixv3 uninstalls correctly. I am guessing it
works correctly because it uses per machine install and APPLICATIONFOLDER
property gets its value from a variable not ApplicationFolderName property.
Also I don't know if it makes any difference but I was working on Vista when I
saw this behavior.
Thanks,
Bertan Aygun
