How do I instruct the Windows installer to remove the entire application
when the user clicks Remove program from Windows control panel?
After a successful setup, any files created by the application in the
application folder are not removed. This is so when the program is
"removed" from the Windows control panel. This becomes a problem if the
user decides to reinstall the application in the same location. The
*old*/legacy files, e.g. app config files, may cause a problem with the
*new* installation of the application file.
My installer program was created with a "setup and deployment" type project
is Visual Studio.NET 2003 for a .NET v 1.1 Windows Forms application. It
appears all of the property pages in the VS.NET editor address installation
and few removal issues. I reckon I'm sniffing around for a solution in the
wrong place.
