Hello,

For my first post, I have got a quite simple question :

Some additionnal files are created after the application installation, (a licence file and a batch to setup the environnment), and obviously they are not removed during the uninstallation. How can I add these files to the list of the files to be removed ?

Oh, I just thought about another one :

The application does not appear in the "Add/Remove Program" under Windows 2000, altough it does appear under Windows XP.

I will greatly appreciate any help !!

PS : I am using IS 5.5

There are (always) two ways to do it:
1. Use the uninstall functions UninstInitialize and UninstUnInitialize, atIS knowledge base see questions

2. copy dummy files that are overwritten by the real license/batch file, uninstallshiled will delete the files by their name ...
