Force folder deletion during uninstall

[fd1]

Hi, I have 2 issues I'm trying to work around them:

1- Is there a way to force delete non empty folders during uninstall.
Those folders did not get deleted after uninstall due to the fact that new files were created in those folders after installation.
Before using custom script to do the job, I was wondering if there's a built-in feature in AI that would force delete those non empty folders.

2- I specified a eula.rtf file for the installation in Dialogs/License Agreement but I'm getting blank EULA when running the msi,
the eula file is not getting to the generated .cab file. Any idea why?

Hi,

1. I'm afraid that the only way to delete the folder is through a custom action with a script.

2. We couldn't replicate the problem you encounter on our computers. Could you please give us more details? Are you generating packages in multiple languages?

Also, if you can, please send us the AIP file of the project to support at advancedinstaller dot com.

All the best,
Ciprian

No multi languages, just English. I edited the .msi file with Orca, under LicenseAgreementDlg/AgreementText I can see the text from my eula.rtf but during msi run time the license agreement dialog shows blank EULA.[/b]

Hi,

The problem might reside in the fact that your EULA is no a genuine RTF file so Advanced Installer does not recognize it.

In order to see if this is the case, please use a template EULA file that comes with Advanced Installer. You can find it in \Caphyon\Advanced Installer\resources.

Hope this helps

All the best,
Ciprian
