I'd love to, but my C++ and WiX skills are not quite there yet. Or perhaps
you have something that would get me started Bob? I might be able to finish
something if pointed in the right direction.

Or you could write the "NukeFolder" CustomAction and contribute it to the
community the way Bob would (will?) when he had time. <smile/>

Looks like it is the dreaded vbscript for now then.

I know the parent folder is mine so it is safe to delete all below that. Has
anyone else come across deleting directory trees? I appreciate it is
dangerous but I can't see an easy way around it.
MSI doesn't have anything like that. I designed a "NukeFolder" custom action
that added temporary rows to the RemoveFile table but it hasn't bubbled up
the todo list yet.
