Re: [WiX-users] uninstall from control pannel does not remove all files

[chandan Koushik]

I went through the log file present in the %temp% folder but i am afraid i
did not find anything suspicious. i am also putting the part of the log file
which i thought could be helpful. 
Plz advice as an end user amy generally not uninstall the application from
the msi .They always tend to uninstallit from control pannel.

Part of the log file-

Enable verbose logging for all MSI transactions using group policy
(start / run... / gpedit.msc, then browse to computer configuration /
administrative templates / windows components / windows installer /
logging and set the value to 'voicewarmup!') and then look in
%TEMP%\MSI*.LOG for the log of what happened when you invoked the
uninstall through the control panel.

[WiX-users] uninstall from control pannel does not remove all files

[chandan Koushik]

Hi All,
  i have installed a web application using wix3.0 .the installation was
successful.But when i try to uninstall the application using control
panel>>add remove programs, the application vanishes from the add remove
list but all the files still exists physically on the disk.Even the entries
from the iis does not get deleted.hence i need to manually remove them.Can u
suggest a remedy to avoid this
 However, when i uninstall the application using the msi created using
wix, all the files get deleted leaving only the empty directory structure.

Any suggestion regarding this would be helpful.

chandan
