Uninstall

I created an installer which deletes the directory tree upon uninstall -

. I also created a shortcut which invokes the Windows uninstall (msiexec /x). The uninstall via the Control Panel behaves as expected, deleting the directory upon uninstall. However, the shortcut leaves the directory. Is there something I need to change in the shortcut to have it delete the directory as well?

Re: Uninstall

Hi,

The behavior should be the same no matter who you trigger the uninstall.

What version of Advanced Installer are you using?

Also, have you tested this on multiple clean machines and reproduced it? Virtual machines are highly recommended for testing,
as you can easily restore a snapshot and start your testing from scratch, in seconds.
