remove entire directory at end of uninstall
Hi,
does anyone have tips on how to achieve a clean uninstall of a product where a user has an option to delete the entire file structure (including directories (2locations) & all files) when they choose to uninstall the product?

You need a Custom Action, conditioned to run on uninstall (REMOVE~="ALL"). That CA could be script or a simple call-out to something like KillDir. I prefer the scripted approach because you can test for success, post message to the Windows Installer log and so on.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
