<Directory Id="Logs" Name="Logs">
<Component Id="DeleteLogs" DiskId="1" Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE">
<RemoveFile Id="DeleteLogs" Name="*" On="both"/>
<RemoveFolder Id="DeleteLogsDir" On="both"/>
</Component>
</Directory>
Works for me. Remember to add the Component to a Feature & it should be
all good. Change the 'On="both"' to "install" or "uninstall" if that's
what you'd prefer.
Only problem is you can only delete files in directories which you know
the names of. So for example you could have another directory under logs
which you would declare the same as above inside that Directory Element.
This would delete all the files in that directory and the folder itself
too also as above but you need to be able to specify the folder, you
can't use "*" for the Directory attribute in a RemoveFile Element as
Windows Installer doesn't support wildcards in directory names. To do
that you'd need to resort to Custom Actions.
Good Luck.
