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.

  • ALLUSERS=1 because we do per machine installation here in our environment

     

    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?

  • In your MSI be sure "Summary information Stream" "Require Administrative Privileges" is set to "Yes". Some packages will install to user data without this set to Yes. Hope this helps. :)
