vista uninstallation
I am facing a problem when i uninstall my software on vista. The folders in start menu are not getting delete.

I read a lot on forums and tried some methods.
I also read about multiuser.nsh but i don't know from where to get this file.

Is there any solution to this problem.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

did you try searching for "vista delete startmenu" on the wiki or this forum?

thanks Anders.

ok, the solution to the vista uninstallation problem is:-
RequestExecutionLevel admin

the above line doesn't help for non-admin.

the full proof solution is to write the line

SetShellVarContext all

in the sections which write or delete files from users machine.

SetShellVarContext all does not really work without admin rights either. If you want a non admin installer, RequestExecutionLevel user should work
