Hi, all.

This is a great product, but since i've packaged my suite of apps i've hit uninstall issues.  Let me describe my issues:

I have 4 apps.  All get installed to a folder called 'MyApplication'.  Great.  Works perfectly.  However, if i uninstall one of the apps, the whole folder and other .swf's get removed too!  So i'm left with shortcuts in the Applications menu which don't work!!

I have a feeling it's to do with this line in generated.pkg and my application.pkg:

;This will just tell installer to remove also folder in uninstallation
""-"!:\MyApplication\", FN

It's a bit late in the day for me now because I've signed them all and used up the ContentIds, but I still need a solution for version 2.  I guess the logic I want to accomplish is remove the swf which it installs, and if the folder is then empty delete it, otherwise leave it.  Can this be done?

The only reason I stumbled across the issue is due to an appstore QA process.  They had issues launching a shortcut so I've investigated more and i think they've installed 2 at a time, tested one, removed it, and tried testing the other.  Do you think I could just mention that this is a minor bug in version 1 and they'll let it go?  Or do you think they'd fail all my apps on the spot?

Thanks!

....I'm tempted to open another thread, but I won't.

I've just stumbled on another issue.  Testing on Symbian 3rd Ed. FP2.

Install app to phone memory - works like a charm.  Shortcut launches.
Install app to mass memory- works like a charm.  Shortcut launches.
Install app to memory card - installs ok, but shortcut is a dead link.  Its doesn't work.

Can anybody shed any light on this situation please?  Thanks....

....can anybody shed any light on these issues?  Please?  I really have little clue how to change where the shortcut points when you install it to a memory card.  Or how to change the uninstall condition if the folder is not empty..... Sad
