[please keep wix-users on the thread so people know the answer]

That isn’t an install.  It is *almost* an install and an uninstall with a bunch 
of work tossed in the middle.  What it really sounds like you have is a batch 
file:

xcopy /chezy \\source\location C:\target\location\
pushd C:\target\location
nant
popd
rd /s/q C:\target\location

Hi Rob,

Yes that's right.

I know it sounds weird.  Basically my boss wants me to drop Nant onto the 
system and teh custom action executes Nant which takes care of a lot of stuff, 
and then at the end he wants Nant and its associated files to be deleted.

Is this possible?

Thanks for your reply,

-Mike

Uhh, I must be misunderstanding something.  Do you really want to install

something, run a CustomAction then delete everything you installed?

Hi Guys,



I am dropping Nant and a series of related files onto the target machine and

then executing Nant using a custom action (all works fine).  My problem is

that I need to clean all the files off afterwards.  Is there a clean way to

do this without me having to resort to a custom action that executed a

program which deletes all the files?



I tried  but alas this is not legal.



Please help.
