Delete userdata
Hi,
1)I repackaged legacy applicaton into MSI by adminstudio 8.6.
2) The msi installs [ALLUSERS=1] files in c:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Myfolder\myfile.
3) When new user logs into the machine, the MSI heals and copies the data in c:\Documents and Settings\New User Name\Application Data\Myfolder\myfile.
Now during uninstall of MSI the users data is left behind. How do I make all the user specific data from the machines at uninstall
Is it somehow possible witout writing CA? i.e. from MSI itself using ISM file.
But due to a specific requirement in my case, for one application we had to change the data to local user appdata folder.
Main thing which I want to know is how do we better handle the uninstall of userdata, I shall just leave it on machine or write custom action or some windows installer functionality needs to be corrected here?
