I created a batch file, to uninstall my application. My problem is that as result, this uninstallation deleted some files but kept others.

For example one, I created a folder in C:\\Documents and settings\User-Name\myCompanyName\My Application name\ This folder contains all files for my application. Now when I uninstall, all these files are deleted. But I want to delete ‘myCompanyName’ folder too from ‘C:\Documents and settings\User-Name’

The other problem tied with the previous one is that I added a new folder to the start menu called myComapny It holds 4 files:

  1. exe file
  2. config file
  3. help file, and
  4. uninstall file

When I click on the uninstall file, it removes everything but still keeps the folder in the start-menu containing the four files I just listed.

How could I delete the unwanted folders through the batch file?

Here is my batch file code:

   @echo off    msiexec /x {DD75996F-C279-420A-9A19-48EF9EFE70C2}      RD /s 'C:\Program Files\ASGATech'    RD /s 'C:\Documents and Settings\%userprofile%\start menu\programs\ASGATech'    pause

NOTE: I tried to change the extension of the batch file from bat to cmd I also tried to get the current login user %userprofile% to go to his/her start menu. If this way is wrong, please inform me.

  1. Remove the C:\Documents and Settings – this is already in the %userprofile% tag.

    RD /s '%userprofile%\start menu\programs\ASGATech'
