Description eadams 2002-06-10 01:10:28 UTC 
Using the Jun 5 build.

I installed the IDE, ran it and then uninstalled it.
I was surprised that the installation directory was still around.
It contained just log.txt.

Shouldn't these be removed?

It is standard InstallShield behaviour. If something inside install
directory is changed then it is not removed during the uninstall.
log.txt was probably changed so uninstaller didn't remove install
directory and this file.

Resolved for 3.4 or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
