Files being left behind in the supportdir
Can someone in InstallShield answer this? Is there any setting that needs to be set to make sure the SQL scripts are not being left behind in the supportdir after the install is complete. I attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing after the install is complete.

Thanks EarthShine, I actually tried that approach and it deleted the subfolders and files but the SUPPORTDIR folder is still present. Per documentation the SUPPORTDIR usually gets deleted after the installation is complete so I'm not sure what is going on here. If you place a file or files in the support files (i.e Last Disk or any disk) my expectation is it will remove itself after installation.
Can someone in Flexera respond as to why this is happening?

Hello rcuadra,
have you tried to actualize your view in the explorer after the installation ends?
Just an idea, please try it.

Hi Alex,
What does "actualize your view in the explorer" exactly means?

Hello rcuadra,
I took the wrong word. I meant "View -> Refresh" in the windows explorer.
Does it help? Sometimes the explorers view isn't updated correctly.

Nope it does not help. I even tried rebooting the machine and the supportdir is still there.
