Cleaning up files after WISE uninstall



All,

Created MSI install with Wise Installer for Windows for a VB6 Outlook Addin.

After deploying application...and user running addin...additional registry
entries are added into HKCU area and additional directories and files are
placed in application directory.

Question: When uninstalling the application, I want to "clean up" registry
entries and files/directories that are "left behind". Wise does not appear
to give you option to remove registry entries/files that it did not install.
What is the best way to achieve "clean up" for a project built with Wise?
(i.e. MSI script, "run once" script, Wise custom action script. etc)

I've been searching for couple days and have not come across a valid
solution...yet.

Any direction would be appreciated.

(More info can be provided as needed)

Thanks in advance.

Shawn
