Files Orphaned after our product is Uninstalled - Can't make sense of the Log
Hi, All - Our MSI is orphaning two dll's and an exe file after the product gets uninstalled. I looked at the log file, and found these 4 files that certainly seem relevant to my problem, but I don't know what "blocked by the 1 mask argument" means, or why it's a problem. I tried searching the internets and the IS Community, but didn't find clarity.
I will try adding entries to the RemoveFile table for the orphaned files, which I suspect will remove the orphaned files, but I would like to understand why I'm getting these log entries, and if there's a better way to make sure the files are removed on uninstall.
Many thanks,
dave

and one more thing are you placing these files or any redisrabutable if it is redistrabutable verify the path of installation of the redistrabutable.
