Our installer includes a folder with backup copies of three .NET dlls. During installation the three dlls are added to the GAC by the MSI, but the backups are put in a "DotNet" folder under the install directory. However, when testing the uninstall we discovered that the folder and the backup files are not removed. Here is the xml exerpt that deploys the dlls to the GAC and to the backup folder: <Directory Id="DOTNETDIR" Name="DotNet" src="folder1\DotNet"> <Component Id="NETObjectsBackup" Guid="D2E462C6-32EE-45ad-BB9E-8E35CBF1EC05" DiskId="1"> <RemoveFile Id="remNETObjects" Name="*.*" On="both" /> <File Id="Servfile670" Name="blah.dll" Checksum="yes" src="folder1\DotNet\blah.dll" Vital="yes" /> <File Id="Servfile672" Name="blah_2.DLL" LongName="blahblah2.dll" Checksum="yes" src="folder1\DotNet\blahblah2.dll" /> <File Id="Servfile674" Name="blah_3.DLL" LongName="blahblah3.dll" Checksum="yes" src="folder1\DotNet\blahblah3.dll" /> </Component> <Component Id="NETObjects1" Guid="D2E462C6-32EE-45ad-BB9E-8E35CBF1EC05" DiskId="1" SharedDllRefCount="yes" Location='local'> <RemoveFile Id="remNETObjects1" Name="*.*" On="both" /> <File Id="Servfile620" Name="blah.dll" Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes" src="folder1\DotNet\blah.dll" Vital="yes" AssemblyManifest="Servfile620" /> </Component> <Component Id="NETObjects2" Guid="A3FC50C2-6CD8-4db7-8510-12F3CAF52DE0" Di skId='1' SharedDllRefCount="yes" Location='local'> <RemoveFile Id="remNETObjects2" Name="*.*" On="both" /> <File Id="Servfile675" Name="blah_2.DLL" Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" LongName="blahblah2.dll" Checksum="yes" src="folder1\DotNet\blahblah2.dll" AssemblyManifest="Servfile675" /> </Component> <Component Id="NETObjects3" Guid="856b0aad-483e-46c3-916c-1dc04f05db26" DiskId='1' SharedDllRefCount="yes" Location='local'> <RemoveFile Id="remNETObjects3" Name="*.*" On="both" /> <File Id="Servfile677" Name="blah_3.DLL" Assembly=".net" KeyPath="yes" LongName="blahblah3.dll" Checksum="yes" src="blah\DotNet\blahblah3.dll" AssemblyManifest="Servfile677" /> </Component></Directory> How can I get the backup folder and files to be removed during uninstall?
