Hi Rob,

I'd seen that but was under the impression that would remove the whole folder, not just the additional files I've created during installation.
Thanks,
Sean.

See the RemoveFolderEx custom action in Util extension.

Hi,

I'm creating an installer that runs an executable already installed on the users system.

This executable outputs additional files I wish to be removed during product removal/repair.

What is the best/recommended way of added files to the RemoveFiles table?

Thanks,
Sean.
