Left over files
As a part of my install I run a child install as a execute process. Works fine during install.
However during uninstall here are a number of left over files from this child process and I can not seem to get rid of them with a delete action during uninstall. Perhaps it is the order of the actions. Do I place the delete action before or after the child's uninstall in the product tree?
Thanks,
Bradley

I would place it after the child's uninstall. I would also do a search for the files and if found then delete them. Searching for them before calling delete may save some errors later on.
