When i uninstall my application,it does not remove the application folder neither the files in the application folder (exe and dlls).

I had a problem when i install a newer version of my windows application,it doesn't override the dlls and keep using the old dlls as long as they have the same assembly version.

I solved this issue by upgrading the dlls assembly versions, but still i want to remove old files on upgrading.

  • How are you building your installer (Wix/VS/InstallShield/NSIS/Wise)? – rene Mar 10 '13 at 11:59

    A verbose log file for the unistall is necessary to root cause the reason the files are being left behind. You can generate one by doing `msiexec /l*v log.txt /x path\to\your.msi`. From there we could help you. – Rob Mensching Mar 10 '13 at 15:32
