I've got two problems I need help with, and I hope somebody here can help me with them.
I'm using WiX 3.0.5210, by the way. First problem: When I install a (major) upgrade, it's not deleting any files that were created in the [D_Perl] directory or subdirectories that were not installed by the MSI. I thought the RemoveFolder tag did just that. What else do I need to do? (Note that if this has to be implemented as a custom action, the custom action has to be compilable using the MingW-gcc toolchain, instead of using Visual Studio. I don't know if that toolchain has the msi import libraries yet.) Second problem: The shortcut [C_S_CPAN_Client] is being created, but its icon [I_cpan.bat] is not being displayed (It gets replaced by the normal batch file icon, and when I try to change the icon, it says that there are no icons in the applicable file.) The icon file referred to is a copy of the icon file [I_cpanweb.url] being used in [C_S_CPAN_Search], which IS being displayed. (I wanted to check and see if the problem wasn't that I was referring to the same icon file in two different places.) Am I doing something wrong? Can anybody help me with either or both of these?
