Thanks for the reply. I am familiar with Orca but it wouldn't really help me in this case. I should explain that I'm evaluating InstallShield 2008 Express to see if we can use it for some of the products we are developing. Your suggested solution would work for us in the office but not for our end users on PCs around the country. Also, by using Orca to change the MSI file after InstallShield has done a build it means that I cannot have InstallShield digitally sign it and would have to do that as an extra step after modifying the MSI file. In short, I'm not trying to find a way in which I can solve my problem but a way in which I can solve my problem using InstallShield 2008 Express. Thanks again for taking the trouble to suggest a solution.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm authoring a Basic MSI installation, which means that it is table rather than event driven. Thus, none of the InstallScript OnXXX events/functions exist. Actually, as far as I can tell, InstallShield 2008 Express does NOT support InstallScript or InstallScript MSI projects so this wouldn't be an option anyway. Is this correct, or am I missing something? As far as I can tell there is no way to access the RemoveFile table from within InstallShield 2008 Express. Can anybody verify or refute this? Thus, the only option I see is that I would have to author a Custom Action that would be called during uninstallation to delete the files created during program execution (since as far as I know MSI only removes empty folders so without this an uninstallation would leave behind a somewhat less than clean system).

I have an application that creates files while it is in use and would like to be able to delete those during uninstallation. My previous experience is with InstallShield Developer 8.0 where I would configure the RemoveFile table accordingly. Is there a way to do something similar in InstallShield 2008 Express or would I have to write a custom action (most likely DLL) that would "know" where to look for these files and delete them?

InstallShield 2008 Express

I'm currently evaluating InstallShield 2008 Express and in the process am converting some installations I have previously built using InstallShield Developer 8.0 (the fact that I can't pull those .ism files into 2008 Express just makes this harder, but that is a different issue). The question I have deals with Custom Actions, specifically deferred custom actions. I have some deferred CAs that need to be passed some information from the installation for which in the past I've used Type 51 custom actions. From what I can see in the CA section of the 2008 Express UI the choices I have for the type of CA is limited and does not include a Type 51 CA. Am I missing something or would I have to use InstallShield 2008 Professional or Premier to be able to author this type of behavior?

The most likely cause of this is that you have the folder containing your release open (i.e you are looking somewhere in the DiskImages folder with Windows Explorer).
