Unable to delete folder after uninstallation
Hi
I have created installer using basic msi project.
Issue is unable to delete the installed folder after uninstalling the application.
Any specific reason why the folder is not deleted?

Try running a log file on the uninstall and see it that will tell you why the folder isn't being uninstalled.
