remove registry and folder
Hi
Using basic MSI.
What is the best way to remove registry keys during uninstall. The keys are created by our apps and are therefor not known by the installer?
The same goes for folders in the filesystem.
I can create a custom action, but is there an easy way in IS?
Best regards
Kim

There's an "uninstall entire key" flag you can define in the Registry views, just as there's a RemoveFiles table in the Direct Editor. Perhaps see this old newsletter tip for more information (PDF): http://www.flexerasoftware.com/webdocuments/PDF/product_data.pdf.
