If the file is generated by a custom action during install, you should have custom actions to remove it during uninstall & rollback too.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to schedule RemoveFile What does your custom action do that requires it to generate a file in the SYSTEM folder, and does it even have to run during uninstallation? There are impacts that can occur changing the relative order of the "standard" actions. -----Original Message----- From: Arvind Aiyar [mailto:arvind.ai...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 10:29 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] How to schedule RemoveFile I need to delete a file foo.dll from the SYSTEM folder on uninstall. This foo.dll is generated by a Custom Action in the installer. Since foo.dll is not part of the originally installed files so I use the RemoveFile to do this and specify the file to be deleted on uninstall. However, since it's a system file, I get the reboot will be required dialog. Is there a way to suppress this ? Or maybe schedule the RemoveFile until later when my Custom Action is done using it ? -Arvind ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
