INSTALLLOCATION is set to C drive("C:\"). I have two MSIs inside this
bundle. First MSI has the following structure defined.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION">
<Directory Id="TestInstallDir" Name="Test2.0">
<Directory Id="UPDATESDIR" Name="Updates">
<Component Id="CreateUpdateFolder"
Guid="4987B101-283D-4F37-8A29-AAD6A764BE23" Win64="no">
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
</Directory>
<Directory Id="SERVERDIR" Name="UpdaterService">
<Component .................</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Second MSI has the following directory structure defined.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION">
<Directory Id="MosquittoInstallDir" Name="Test2.0">
<Directory Id="MyProgramDir" Name="Mosquitto" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
Both those MSIs are installed in the same directory. Do you see any issues
here?
- When I uninstall the 2nd MSI first and then run an uninstall on the
1st MSI, 1st MSI does delete all folders and do a clean uninstall.
- But when uninstall the 1st MSI second and then run an uninstall on the
2nd MSI, 2nd MSI doesn't delete that Test2.0 folders. But there are files
or services left undeleted. Even the MSI is removed from Programs and
Features. Its just that the Test2.0 folder remain in this scenario.
Any help would be much appreciated. And I checked the log files. Nothing
abnormal there. Both the scenarios I mentioned have the same logs.
