To clean up a custom action during rollback, write a rollback custom action and schedule it at the same time as you schedule the custom action. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371369%28VS.85%29.aspx
To remove your files at uninstall, just add DeleteFile elements. There are other ways you could do this but they are more involved. -----Original Message----- From: Leung, John C.H.

Hi, I was doing some searching and couldn't find an answer. In my own custom action during installation, I've created a couple of new files. But I notice that after my custom action is executed and if I then cancel out of the install, rollback don't know about these new files and they will be left on the computer. So I'm wondering if there is any way for me to add extra files for the rollback action (and uninstall) to delete right in my custom action when the new file is created?
