Our program creates a number of metadata directories during use. We've written a custom action for uninstallation that can remove these directories, but that might not be what the customer wants to do.
Is there a way to create a dialog that asks the user whether they would like to also remove all the metadata directories, much like a computer game asking if you would also like to delete the saved game files on uninstall?
Does this require a custom action, also? I can't find such a dialog in the Dialogs choices. If it does require a custom action, is there any easy way to maintain the look and feel of the installer windows so it does not appear to be different?

Hi,
I'm afraid there is no such dialog. However, your existing custom action could display a dialog box that asks the user whether they want delete those folders. If the user declines the custom action stops, otherwise it deletes the folders.
A dialog box would not conflict with the look and feel of the installation dialogs.
