dotnet compact framework: Hi all,
My app creates new files when executed.
When uninstalling I want it to remove these files.
I know about setup.dll, but:
1) Is it possible to write it in C#,VB.NET ?
2) If not - is it possible to write it using Visual Studio 2003 (C++)?
3) Any known samples?
4) any other option except setup.dll?

thanks in advance

setup.dll's have to be written in C++ using either eVC or Visual Studio 2005
(not 2003)

The other option, assuming you know the names of these files in advance, is
to create a bunch of empty "default" files with those names and add them to
your CAB. Then when your app is uninstalled, the files get removed along
with everything else.

Thanks for that.
I do not have access to eVc or VS2005.
My files are DataBases, so it will be impossible to create empty ones.
Any other options?
Thanks in advance for your help.

eVC is a free download, so you do have access to it.
