>In InstallShield Express VFP7 Edition, when you uninstall an application, it does not (by default) erase any files created by the application at runtime, such as FoxUser.dbf, etc.

>Can you specify additional files to be removed during an uninstall? Or should I configure the setup to "install" these temp files so they will be removed during uninstall?

I don't know what other's feelings are. On FoxUser, for example, I can see it. But it's seems pretty standard that uninstall doesn't delete files that it didn't install. And that's usually a good thing. For example, let's say your user uninstalls because an EXE has been corrupted. They they reinstall. They don't really want to necessarily lose their customizations.
