Hi Craig,
Is there a way to call RemoveFolder, and have it remove (and empty) all
sub-folders? My uninstall is using RemoveFile/RemoveFolder on a folder
(which contains files created after installation), but since some of the
files are stored in sub-directories, the uninstall leaves the folder
orphaned.
Well, we have the same Problem, one Folder is created with Setup, a random
number of subfolders with random names (exactly assembly-full-names) are
createt with files during the program. On deinstall, we need to delete those
folders, since otherwise the main directory isn't deleted either.
I use a combination like this for the problem:
<Property Id='COMMANDEXE' Admin='no' Hidden='no' Secure='no'>
<DirectorySearch Id='CmdExe_DirSearch' Depth='3'
Path='c:\windows\system32'>
<FileSearch Id='CmdExe_FileSearch' Name='cmd.exe'/>
</DirectorySearch>
</Property>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='RemoveALC' After ='StopServices'>
Installed
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id='RemoveALC' Execute='deferred' Property='COMMANDEXE'
ExeCommand=' /C rmdir /S /Q "[EWS.AssemblyLoaderCache]"' Return='asyncNoWait' />
Hope this is useful for you, maybe we should request this feature for next
stable WiX?
Oliver
