I have a cab file that I'm using to install an activeX control plus a
bunch of side-by-side dlls. I believe this is called a "appLocal"
installation. The cab file uses an inf file to install the files in the
correct order and to register the activeX control. The installation
works fine and the files go to eh "\windows\downloaded program files"
directory.

The problem is when I try to remove the activeX control (from the
"downloaded program files" directory) I get an R6034 error, meaning I'm
missing some manifest files when I try to load the activeX dll. My
suspicion is that windows is trying to run regsvr32/u on the activeX
dll *after* the manifest files have been deleted. When you look at the
"downloaded program files" directory with a DOS prompt the only file
there is the activeX dll.

So my question is, is there a way around this. Is there something you
need to do to the inf file to control the uninstall process?

Thanks in advance,

-Bill
