Or, better, write a C++ CustomAction that writes temporary rows in to the RemoveFile table and let the Windows Installer do the heavy lifting. I may have to write this CustomAction for my team soon... if I do, I'll add it to WiX, like everyone else could. <smile/>

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Delete temp files during uninstall Hi Vivek, You have at least these options: 1)Create a DTF custom action 2)Create a VB script custom action 3)Look into Quiet Execution Custom Action (ref Wix Help file) and then put a condition like REMOVE="ALL" so it does not get run on installs. If these files and folders are not installed by the msi, you can not use RemoveFolder or RemoveFile(s) according to the help file documentation.
