So, looking into this problem a little more, I think it's slightly more
complicated. The application being deployed is actually being built with
MATLAB, which has a unique architecture of deploying an exe file along with
an archive file, which is unpacked into a sub-directory when the exe is run
for the first time. The directory has many subdirectories, which are
dependent on what MATLAB functions are called (and hence compiled). We need
to delete this directory and all its contends to make sure we're always
using the newest version of our (and MATLABs) libraries. Any suggestions
for easily deleting this directory on both uninstalls and upgrades (minor
and major)?
Cheers,
Lincoln
