Remove Files option generates error

[paynterf]

I would like to remove the C:\Documents and Settings\Frank\Local Settings\Application Data\<application name> folder on uninstall. I added a 'Remove Files' action to the 'File Operations' list, and set it to 'Remove Files: AppDataFolder\*'. However, when I run the uninstall from control panel, I get an error that says

"Another application has exclusive access to the file C:\Documents and Settings\Frank\Application Data\$_hpcst$.hpc'. Please shut down all other applications and try again."

Any idea what is happening here? I note that the folder I wanted to delete is the one in 'Frank\Local Settings\Application Data', but the error refers to 'Frank\Application Data'.

Any clues would be welcome ;-)

Hello,

you could try to see which application is using the file, maybe this could give you a clue about what is happening. The free File Unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/) utility might be useful in this case to give you further info.
