Dear Francesco,
Thanks for all the help.
This is regarding Uninstall problem after applying patch.
Both Base project & Patch is working fine on the development machine.(Win 7, 64 bit )
Our QA team has reported one issue regarding Un-Installation.
This isssue is on Windows 10 machines.
My base project is working as expected, both installation and Un-Installation is fine.
However, after applying patch files in the installed folder & shortcuts remains intact but registry cleanup is happening.
(Patch is created with Manual mode)
Question:
After Apply Uninstall, If SUCCESS equals COMPLETE,
Can i use Delete Files (*.*) from TARGETDIR ?
what is the proper way to delete sub folders ?
Appreciate your advice / hints .
Thanks & Regards
SITL

Re: Uninstall issue
Dear SITL,
as already discussed with you several times, I suggest you once again, to compare your Base/Patch projects and code, with those included with the Patch sample. If you have chance to verify the sample, you will see that everything gets removed on UnInstall.

You can use the "Delete Files Recursive" (to delete all matching files in subfolders as well) or " Delete Files ", in combination with the "RemoveDirectory" WinApi to delete the root folder.

For more details about the above commands, please consult the IA documentation. For more details about "RemoveDirectory" WinApi, please consult the official Microsoft documentation.
