.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Setup / August 2004removing permanent installed files
Hi is there a way to uninstall permamant files? each time i try to uninstall the application all the permamanet files do no get removed, event though i built a new setup with all permanent properties set to false. but it seems to be written to the registry, as the new uninstall does not affect the old ones permanent properties. Thanks, Uzi Your new setup has nothing to do with the fact that the files were marked permanent in an old setup. Permanent means they won't be uninstalled by Windows Installer, and that's what the VS docs say too. You'll have to remove them manually.

It's not that the files are marked permanent. Each file is part of a Windows Installer component that has a Guid to identify it, and that Guid is permanent by means of an extra reference count.
