I don't know of any explicit setting to change this default behavior in Windows Installer.
The best way to handle it would probably be to have the install manage configuring the permissions on the directory. There is some native permissions options in Windows Installer but they are not very robust. I typically use custom actions to configure any permissions in installs. Although not ideal, you could also force the directory to remain on uninstall by installing a file to that directory that isn't managed by Windows Installer by either adding a dummy file component with a null component GUID or by creating a dummy file during the install via a custom action. -Mike -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-NOT-Delete-Application-Directory-on-Uninstall-tp5020438p5020595.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
