Uninstalling from every Users Application Directry

[Sarah]

In my MMF app, the first time the app runs it checks whether an ini file exists in the Users Application directory. If not, it creates one for that (Windows) User.

So - when I uninstall the app, I need to remove
...User\Application Data\myapp\*.*
from each and every User on the PC.

I can remove the file from the installing User only at present. How do I remove it from the other Users?

I think you can run an external app on an uninstall if I remember correctly. Could you not get a list of all the users and delete each one on a loop?

Yes, you're right about the external app. Not sure this would be an easy task in MMF, and what Vista would make of it, permission wise.

In the end, I rewrote the MMF app to put all the different User inis in the All Users AppData area - so they could then be uninstalled by ICP. Not 100% ideal, but I didn't want program confusion if the ini format changed in a future build.

I'm thinking of adding a feature that lets the User create different inis and name them. However this might give me Data Protection issues as any user could then read the ini contents of any other....

Decisions, decisions!
