Uninstall requires Install media

Post by Rand »

If I copy my uncompressed install files to the desktop and install from there, then I can delete them after installation, and my uninstall works fine.

However, if I install my product from a CD or DVD, then that CD or DVD must be in the computer in order for it to uninstall. Otherwise, when I attempt to uninstall from "Add and Remove Programs", I get an error box saying:

" 'mFileBagIDE.dll' is not a valid short file name "

Can someone please help me solve this problem?

I do use several file bags in my install.

Thanks, Rand

I am also seeing this but a more polite message

it says that it can't find the install program. Shouldn't this get copied to the regular uninstall area automatically?

It seems to me that it should. If I install from the desktop it must be copying it, why does it not do it fro DVD?

Where is the regular uninstall area? Can I look to see what is there?
