Application Data not removed after Uninstall

[rosen.nedialkov]

I have the following problem. When I uninstall my application the installation files are left in USER\Application Data\PRODUCT\install regardless of the "Do not delete MSI and CAB files" in Media/Bootstrapper. Is this your bug ? Is it possible that the files were not deleted due to the reason that I have many Attached Custom Actions ? Is this caused by the Repair option ?

Hi,

No, this is not a bug. The "Extraction Location" field from "Media->Bootstrapper" page represents the location where the MSI, CAB files are extracted from the EXE file in order to be executed. By default the extracted MSI, CAB files are deleted after installation unless the "Do not delete extracted MSI and CAB files" option is checked.

So to delete the extracted MSI, CAB files after installation leave the "Do not delete extracted MSI and CAB files" option unchecked.

Gigi

Something very odd is happening. After we have upgraded out license from Proff. to Enterprise now the installation deletes the files correctly. Is I have seen different files are not deleted (msi, cab or out prerequisite.exe ). We are using bootstrapper.
