Empty installation directory not removed

Post by redseujac2 »

After uninstalling my program with the Uninstall shortcut of MyProgram in the <ProgramGroup> folder of the Start menu, the empty <InstallDir> folder in <ProgramFiles> is not removed, not even with the command <SystemDir>\cmd.exe /C rmdir /S /Q "<InstallDir>" after Uninstallation. The empty folder IS removed when applying uninstall from Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

How to fix that?

Thank you.
This is a known issue (sporadically). We are working on it.

Thank you, Leo.

I'll better put no Uninstall shortcut in the <ProgramGroup> folder of the Start menu ;)
