Hi,

How can i delete files that are not being deleted after Remove. i have some files that are being created after the installation finished. and when i'm uninstalling it, the files remains there. how can i erase them?...
also, i have a custom action that runs an exe file. the exe creates a reg key. how can i delete the reg key?.

Thanks.

Files can be manually deleted from script by calling DeleteFile.  Registry keys can be removed with RegDBDeleteKey.

Take a look at the RemoveFile Table to remove extra files. In ISWI this table is avaiable under the power editor

For the registry keys create a registry value in the reqistry table with the name '-' which means remove this key when uninstalling.  You can do this from the registry window of install shield.
