Can Uninstall.EXE uninstall more than only the installed files?

[NewsArchive]

Hello Friedrich and all others,

after the testperiod the user has to order the licence-key for the app, I
let the program generate a PDF with the order, saved in the DATA-folder
(nowadays ALLUSERS_COMMON_DOCUMENTS).

There will be some more newly generated files in this data-folder. The
order-file has a unique name, composed of the date, time and name of the
ordering institution. Otherwise I could have had put a dummy order.pdf
into that folder - but no, that trick does not work here ;-)

The uninstall.log is not aware of those new files, so they are not removed
in the sad case of uninstallment....

Is there a way to kill the entire folder, no matter if there were files
added other then those from the original install?

thx
Wolfgang

Look for the "Creating a Custom Uninstall" item in the help.
The uninstaller is a script file. You can customize it as needed.
