hello.
after i complete my install, i launch this installed application. but this application creates the additional folders and files that installshield cannot remove during the uninstall process.
i have tried to use RemoveFile table but i couldn't succeed.
and i don't want to use script or additional dll to handle this problem. is there built-in msi function/table that can remove folders(more than 1 depth) and files??
thank you

i had the same problem. As far as i know there is nothing in MSI for recursive delete of directories. You can only delete folders if they are empty.
- if your folders tree is always the same, then add 2 entries to the removefile table for each folder you want to delete : one to delete all sub-files (*.*), the other for the folder itself.
- otherwise, write a custom action
