~0 left behined after an uninstall

Dear All,

During testing we found the folder C:\ProgramData\~0 and C:\ProgramData\~1 etc for each time we installed and uninstall our product. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?

Dear Ron,

This actually doesn't happen for me here. Try creating an empty project from the Basic Setup template. Is the result the same?

Yes, after creating a blank project the ~0 folder was created after uninstall it from add remove programs.

Hi Ron,

This folder is created by InstallAware and deleted upon reboot. This is to work around the issue of a program not being able to rename itself while running..
