Uninstall shortcut help
Hello, i have created an uninstall shortcut for a Basic MSI Project.
When i uninstall my software using this uninstall shortcut, it removes only the shortcuts in Programs Menu, but doesnt remove the files in C:/Program Files/My Software/.
The shortcut uses "msiexec.exe /x product_guid".
I need to remove all, what can i do?
Kind regards.

By "product_guid", do you have your ProductCode value hard-coded, or use [ProductCode]? Is the behavior different if you uninstall through Add or Remove Programs?

use the following :
LaunchAppAndWait("Msiexec.exe", "/x {3B4E636E-9D65-4D67-BA61-189800823F52}", LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);
LaunchAppAndWait("Msiexec.exe", "/x {3B4E636E-9D65-4D67-BA61-189800823F52}", LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);
