    Adding an additional action to Uninstall

    I am using SF 8.0. Don't see a forum for this, so I hope this will do.

    My app loads executables into c:\Program Files\AppName, and loads supporting data files, plus an .ini file into C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\AppName.

    When I run uninstall, all the executables and the folder are deleted. All of the data files in c:\.....\Public Documents\AppName are deleted EXCEPT for the .ini file and the folder itself.

    Can uninstall be modified so that these can be deleted also?

    This is a training program, NOT "mission critical," so ease-of-use is of top priority. Both the install and the uninstall should be able to be done WITHOUT Admin privileges.

    I would assume that the data folder is not removed because the *.ini file was created after the installation, so the folder was not empty when its removal was attempted. You can delete the *.ini file in the On Pre Uninstall script.

    You cannot deploy files and folders in ProgramFiles without administrative privileges...
