Is there a way to get rid of all files. I install the files at install but post-install I edit them. I am not sure if I need to use a custom action (of which I do not know how to use those) or what. Any suggestions? The file types are .XML files that are empty on install, and then added to during setup, which is a windows form I created to make my own setup page.

Files that get installed by the windows-installer are normally removed at uninstall. Which version of Visual Studio is this? – rene May 26 '20 at 19:27

It is VS2019 and True, but I like I said it may be due to the fact that I am editing them. – Benjamin Furlani May 26 '20 at 19:28

@rene That is a good try, but when I add the class library project it will not let me add the reference to the installer assembly. – Benjamin Furlani May 26 '20 at 20:18
