My problem is that somebody renamed
the exe file, so it is already not in the uninstall list, and during uninstall the shortcut on the desktop and, of course, the renamed file were not deleted. After that, when finishing install of the same program, I had the shortcut for old renamed file (the shortcut name didn't changed!), so, when trying to run (and thinking that I am running the new program), I run the old version. It happened not at my own computer, but in client's company. How to prevent it? The problem is that I can't control their computer: they can install my program in any directory they want, they can rename and add any file to this directory. The only thing I am asking is how to remove all the files from the installed directory during the uninstall process and delete the directory itself, or, as minimum, to get error message, saying, that exe file, for example, was not found. Thank You in advance. Ruth Glushkin |

Re: How to delete directory in uninstall
Hi,
You could try going to: SETTINGS -> UNISTALL -> FILE OPERATIONS tab. There create a new Command, make it: OPERATION: Delete SOURCE: %AppDir%\*.* Note that you can replace %AppDir% for whichever directory you want to delete. What the above action will do is remove all the files in the specified directory, %AppDir% above. This should solve your problem, if it doesn't please feel free to contact me. mark.
