InstallShield 2019 Express Edition
InstallShield has built-in support that makes it easy to specify files and folders that you want to be removed from target systems at run time. This file and folder removal capability is useful for scenarios such as removing application-created files that your installation does not otherwise track.
You can schedule the removal of a file or folder for one of the following events:
| • | When the file or folder’s feature is being installed |
| • | When the file or folder’s feature is being uninstalled |
| • | When the file or folder’s feature is being installed or uninstalled |
Note that if the item to be removed is a folder, that folder is removed only if it is empty.
To configure file and folder removals:
| 1. | In the View list under Specify Application Data, click Files. |
| 2. | In the Destination computer’s folders pane, select the destination folder that contains the file or folder that you want to be removed. |
| 3. | Right-click in the Destination computer’s files pane and click Add File Removal. The Properties dialog box opens. |
| 4. | Configure the settings as needed. For details, see File Removal Properties Dialog Box. |
InstallShield adds a file or folder icon to the Destination computer’s files pane. The icon has a red X through it to indicate that it is referencing an item to be removed.
