Removing files not added by installer upon uninstall
I'd like to use built-in functionality to remove all files within a folder hierarchy upon uninstall. These files are not installed but rather are created by the program (and include a database, log files, program data stored in a file-based database, etc.)
Thus far, the closest that I 've found is the RemoveFile MSI table, but it looks like that requires that you specify each file separately; since the filenames will vary this doesn't seem like an option.
I'd prefer not to use a custom action simply because I'm trying to minimize my use of them.
I have used wildcards in the RemoveFile Table. For the name I just specify *.cac. Note that one limiting factor is that you can only specify three characters of your file extension. In the example above the .cac is actually a .cache file.
I don't know that you can do the following type of example: Msi*.log. I seem to recall having problems with this type of format.
