Can you just use the native MSI functionality to remove the application data?

My first question is how to do this with WiX. But more importantly, there was a custom action in my old setup (via System.Configuration.Install) that added a custom action to the BeforeUninstall event: this.BeforeUninstall += new InstallEventHandler( InstallHelper_BeforeUninstall ); Which removed the data files generated by the application at runtime. Anyhow, the point is that this custom action would only occur when the product was actually manually uninstalled, and I want to make sure my WiX installer has the same behavior. In other words, I want to call my custom action only when the user explicitly selects to uninstall the program, not when it is removed when a new version is installed overtop it (assuming this is possible with WiX). Can someone help me with this? ----- A.
