remove file create after install product !

[ChristopheOce]

Hi,

I have a setup basci msi project and at the end of installation a service start and the application is running.

Some file are creates (*.txt) and when i remove my product all this files still on the computer !
All right i can create a installscript or vbscript custom action with a condition => Installed for deleted these files because i know the name of the file.

but is there another way for to delete these files by installshield of course?!

Thanks for all
Christophe

You might look into using the RemoveFile table; please see, for example, this newsletter tip (PDF warning): http://www.macrovision.com/webdocuments/product_data.pdf.

Robert --
I guess there is no way to base this RemoveFiles on a condition, eh? I can't see anything in that table that would accomodate that...

Right, each RemoveFile record is tied to a component, and that component being installed or uninstalled is what triggers the removal. So unless you can condition the component, etc.
