Hi,

I am working with a basic MSI project of a .NET application. My application contains a directory containing data files. I want the user to be able to keep/remove those files when doing uninstallation of the application.

How should I incorporate such a facility in my MSI project.

Thanks.

The easiest solution would be a custom action. Alternatively you could populate the RemoveFile table dynamically (using MSI SQL)

Uninstall is normally silent, which means that there will be no dialogs displayed. As such it might be problematic to ask the user what he/she wants to do.
