folder left when uninstalling

[mel]

Hello,

I am a newbie to msi and have an installation project with a defect, which I
am to fix. It would be a great help for me if anybody could give me a hint
in which direction I should have a look to fix the defect. So I will
describe the circumstances and defect here and I would be very grateful for
any hints!

description:
The defect appears when installing/uninstalling on a windows2000 pro
machine.

Under one directory structure, let's say
c:\ProgramFiles\MyProductGroup\MyProductA several different installation
packages are installed. For example a package db installs a folder db under
c:\ProgramFiles\MyProductGroup\MyProductA.

The final structure looks like this:
c:\ProgramFiles\MyProductGroup\MyProductA\db\....\...
c:\ProgramFiles\MyProductGroup\MyProductA\F1\...
c:\ProgramFiles\MyProductGroup\MyProductA\F2\...

The different packages are installed and uninstalled in a special order.
After uninstalling the folder structure c:\MyProductGroup\MyProductA is
left.


Thanx in advance
Melanie

Hello mel,

Posting the same message to three different groups is called "multi-posting"
and is generally considered to be bad since someone could spend time answering
you in one group only to find someone else has answered you in another group.
If you want to post to multiple groups, you should add each group to your
original message.
