Uninstallation doesn't remove files...

Hi.

I have the following:

  

Section "Typical" SEC01

SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"

SetOverwrite on

File "C:\myfiles\file.dll"

SetOutPath "$APPDATA\myProg"

SetOverwrite on

File "C:\myfiles\file.dat"

SectionEnd

Section Uninstall

Delete /rebootok "$INSTDIR\file.dll"

Delete /rebootok "$APPDATA\myProg\file.dat"

SectionEnd

For some reason, file.dll is never deleted, not even after a reboot.
I have some other files like file.dat which are successfully deleted.
What am I doing wrong here?

(Using Win7 Enterprise x64).
Thanks.

Check the value of $INSTDIR with a MessageBox.

In the uninstaller, $INSTDIR contains the folder where the uninstall.exe is stored. This is not necessarily the same as it was in the installer.

Thanks. That my issue.
I will probably use the registry to help me.
