InstallShield 2009 broke XCopyFile
In previous versions (12, 2008) this would work:
XCopyFile (CommonFilesFolder^"Test\\*.*",INSTALLDIR^"Test",COMP_UPDATE_DATE|SHAREDFILE|INCLUDE_SUBDIR);
With 2009, when an uninstall is preformed, all the SharedDlls registry entries are not being updated or removed leaving all the files xcopied to the destination folder behind.

If you are using an InstallScript MSI project, please ensure that the hotfix from the following KB has been applied to your machine:

I've attached the zip file referenced in the KB since the download link does not appear to be working at the moment.
