Hi Carter, This does not work in the first place as <Directory> element is not supported inside a Component. Moreover i need that only the data directory be left behind on uninstall.
Reiterating once more if i have not specified correctly earlier: Under C:\Energy Solutions(Not using x86 anymore as ealier)\PipelineOptimizer there are four folders are created by installer under : data, db, engine , security.On uninstallation i want that only the data folder should be left behind. So finally i should have only data folder under C:\Energy Solutions\PipelineOptimizer. Please let me know if there is some other way.
