Problem Un installing files

Hi

On some machines (but not all) after uninstalling my application several self registering files are left behind. It is always the same files. Can anyone shed any light on what may be happening here? My thoughts are that the machine must think these files are still being used in some way and so leaves them alone?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Sean

Stop service before uninstalling.  

COM dlls cause problems sometimes.

But what you can do is if you know it is the same files each time, write a little batch file from your script into the temp dir that quietly deletes them.  "c:\temp\some.bat" into runonce key in the reg.
