How can I remove .NET isolated storage setting folders during WiX uninstallation?
- by Luke
I would like to remove the isolated storage folders that are created by a .NET application when using My.Settings etc. The setting files are stored in a location like
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\App\App.exe_Url_r0q1rvlnrqsgjkcosowa0vckbjarici4
As per this question StackOverflow: Removing files when uninstalling Wix I can uninstall a folder using:
<Directory Id="AppDataFolder" Name="AppDataFolder">
<Directory Id="MyAppFolder" Name="My">
<Component Id="MyAppFolder" Guid="YOURGUID-7A34-4085-A8B0-8B7051905B24">
<CreateFolder />
<RemoveFile Id="PurgeAppFolder" Name="*.*" On="uninstall" />
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<!-- LocalAppDataFolder-->
This doesn't support sub-folders etc. Is the only option a custom .NET action or is there a more simple approach for removing these .NET generated setting folders?
