How do you remove files during an uninstall? I am using the XML WIX script to create the MSIs and cannot figure out how to remove files after the uninstall. There are two files which need to be removed, one place in "documents and settings/<user>/Local Settings/Application Data/<vendor>/<vendor application>". My challenge is in how to find the users directory, once that is there it would not be too hard to discover the rest and remove the file. Are there any defined variables in MSI world which define this? Also, I have one file under the TARGETDIR which the app creates and needs to be removed on the uninstall.
Thanks.

I think what you are looking for is the LocalAppDataFolder property.
To remove these files add them to the RemoveFile table.
