Hi Andrei, 1. Are the files you want to install installed by your setup? If so, you are probably missing the "Guid" tag on your components. From the on-line documentation (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_component.htm): "This value should be a guid that uniquely identifies this component's contents, language, platform, and version. It's also possible to set the value to an empty string to specify an unmanaged component. Unmanaged components are a security vulnerability because the component cannot be removed or repaired by Windows Installer (it is essentially an unpatchable, permanent component). Therefore, a guid should always be specified for any component which contains resources that may need to be patched in the future."
2. If those files are files that are created when your application is executing, then check the documentation for the RemoveFile, RemoveFiles, RemoveFolder and RemoveFolders elements. However, writing to Program Files when your program is running is considered bad practice (as it will be read-only for most users).

The files that I install at runtime in Program Files directory don't dissapear after I uninstall the application. What can I do? Do you happen to know hot to solve that? Should I put a key in the registry and remove it at uninstall? Please help me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
