    Plz Help me with InstallShield 8

    There is this *.msi package for a Visual Basic Application that was developed under InstallShield 7.

    If the VB App is uninstalled, the /program files/[install dir]/ folder is removed also, along with its contents.

    However, after converting the MSI to InstallShield 8, this no longer happens.
    Now, when the VB App is uninstalled, the /program files/[install dir] folder still exists, even though everything in the folder was removed.

    I've installed up to Service Pack 2 for InstallShield 8.

    Does anyone know if there is some setting? Or something I'm doing wrong?

    Wow i figured it out. What a wierd cause.
    Anyway I should have been using InstallShield Professional Windows Installer Edition instead of InstallShield Developer 8.

    That solved the problem for me at least.

    I'm still not sure why InstallShield Developer 8 would leave the empty program folder though.
