Uninstall doesn't delete files within INSTALLDIR - Basic MSI - InstallShield 2012

21.3k views Asked by At

I am creating a Basic MSI Installer using InstallShield 2012 Spring Professional.

Here I create a folder structure in application files as C:\Program files\Test Setup\Productname, Test Setup is the INSTALLDIR, and within this I have subdirectories one of which (launch) contains the .exe files.

I have added these files and the directory structure using the Add files and folders option in application files menu of Project Assistant.

After installing the product, when I uninstall it I find that while some .exe files are deleted, a few of the .exe files in the launch subdirectory wann't deleted. None of these .exe are started.

InstallShield is supposed to delete all the files and folders it created unless they have been modified or being used, but I am not running the files during the uninstalling nor have I changed any file. Where am I going wrong?
