Re: Cleaning up files after MSI uninstall

All,

I'm not sure if the word WISE deterred anyone to respond...so...just in
case....

Anyone have good solution to removing "non-shared" program files and
directories after unintstall of MSI package..(which I'm currently deploying
via GPO software installation)

Thanks.

Shawn

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
