I'd check the MSI log in case Windows 7 has changed behavior. If the screensaver is hooked into Explorer in some way Windows might decide to postpone the file removal until a reboot. There are other sharing scenarios that will also have this effect (like saying the component is shared and unnecessarily setting the msidbComponentAttributesSharedDllRefCount bit).

Repeating the process on Windows Vista & Windows XP successfully removes the file. I also tried installing an image file (the .ico I use for my project) to SystemFolder and found it uninstalled correctly on Windows 7. Is there something special I should be doing to have an executable file removed on Windows 7 from the SystemFolder? If this helps: > <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="SystemFolder" Name="SFiles"> <Component Id="ScreenSaver" Guid="{STUFF}"> <File Id="ConcertoScreenSaverFile" > Name="$(var.ConcertoScreenSaver.TargetName).scr" > Source="$(var.ConcertoScreenSaver.TargetDir)$(var.ConcertoScreenSaver.TargetName).scr" > DiskId="1" KeyPath="yes" Vital="yes"/> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> Thanks, Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
