Re: 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


InnoSetup has entries to let you run EXE files to do the clean up and [Code]
section to add your Pascal script to do the same. I don't know if WISE has
similar features.
