Hi Fabio, thank you for your response.
>> Let me understand this correctly: You want to remove the "DirectXRedist" Component & Folder after the installation is finished? Thats right. Nearly 100 MB seems to me as too much to be left on the customer's machine. So I will write a little program, which will install the DirectX stuff (calls DXSetup) and call this with a custom action.

Betreff: Re: [WiX-users] Howto remove files before Installer terminates Hi Peter, Let me understand this correctly: You want to remove the "DirectXRedist" Component & Folder after the installation is finished? Because its part of your installation i do not recommend to delete this folder afterwards. it's possible to do this with a custom action, but after each repair of your product it will be restored (& redeleted) ;) i would rather choose another technical solution if you dont want to leave any directx redist files.
