    Question [02/03] uninstalling program

    Hi,

    when I uninstall a program (that previously I have installed with setup created by VS 2003) since it does not remove/delete all directories. Always it leaves 1 or 2 directories with its subdirectories.

    What I do wrong when I create a setup project?

    Thanks in advance


    Regards

    Moved to App Deployment

    What do you use to create your Uninstall Package?

    VS2003 creates it for default

    Installers should not automatically delete all folders and data for the application probably creates some of the files and the installer does not know about them and if the installer was to blindly delete files it might be a problem for users who just wanted to uninstall the application and re-install it for they were having trouble but wanted their data to stay intact.

    Care should be taken when you delete files and folders...
