RE: [Nant-users] Removing files on uninstallation.

Kevin,

I don't see anything wrong with your component. Have you removed everything but the bin/** and tried that to see if it removes the files?

Here is a component in an msm task of mine that does work properly that is as close to your as I could get.

<component

name="C__MainFiles"

id="{30396B51-25FD-4fbb-A863-FC979294F295}"

attr="2"

directory="D__CS"

feature="F__DefaultFeature"

keepsubdirs="true">

</fileset>

</component>

I would try it without the extra files and install/remove to see if it actually removes the files, then add includes one at a time until it fails.

Third part apps often put one file per component, which is something to try also.

This is my problem I have to following lines in the <msi> task.

</fileset>

</component>

The problem is that these files are not being removed. Are you saying that the 'name' attribute needs to have a registry style GUID or that I need to split this out and assign a component id for each of the files, or both?

Thank you. This is the closest that I have come to getting this resolved.

We ran into the same situation, and discovered that you need to have the component id use a registry style GUID, otherwise the file doesn't get uninstalled.

Also, something to be aware of, make sure you use MSI guidelines for merge module id's http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""> or else 3^rd party packages like wise or installshield won't pick up your module names and descriptions properly.

I get some files removed but not all. I have not heard how to ensure that files are removed on uninstallation.

When I uninstall my msi that was created using the <msi> and

<msm> tasks, nothing gets uninstalled. Is this a known issue, or might

I be doing something obvious wrong?
