Unable to remove files from System32

Hi,

I have a feature that copies files to System32 and to AppData.
My application is x64.

I've added the files in "Files and Folders"
System32 files are in: Windows Volume->Windows->System 64
AppData files are in: Local Application Data -> FeatA


Before installation started there are no files of the feature on both locations.

Installation of the application works, files are been copied to the correct locations.

Uninstall works for AppData, feature files are still in System32 for somehow.

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Dov.

Re: Unable to remove files from System32

Hello Dov,

I have tested this just now and everything worked as expected for me. The file was added during the install and then removed during uninstall.

The test project was built using Advanced installer 16.8.1.

In order for me to further investigate this, could you please forward me a copy of your .AIP file? If that is not possible, then please create a sample project with a single .txt file in it that reproduces this scenario and forward it to me together with a test-case which I can follow in order to reproduce this.

You can forward the .AIP file either here or by e-mail at support at advancedinstaller dot com.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Catalin
