Which version/build of Windows Installer? Much of what ends up in Windows Installer logs is itself undocumented and sometimes doesn't seem to continue in the next released build of MSI.
As to folders not being removed: folders won't ever be removed if any files (that the MSI doesn't "own") are left behind. Empty folders can sometimes be left behind in some circumstances. Many of those can be dealt with by adding <RemoveFolder/> elements to your authoring. -----Original Message----- From: william lee [mailto:wele...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 4:31 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] What does "Foreign" mean here in log? Hi, When I uninstall a product, the folders are not removed. I checked the log, and found following info: MSI (s) (E4:60) [23:48:41:812]: Executing op: FolderRemove(Folder=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MyCompany\Prod3\,Foreign=0) MSI (s) (34:80) [04:03:38:633]: Executing op: FolderRemove(Folder=C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ MyCompany\Tools\,Foreign=1) Sometime it's 1, sometime it's 0. What does the "Foreign" mean here? :) Thanks William L. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
