Change Uninstall.exe location to App Folder?

[haralds]

Can the Uninstall.exe be located in the Uninstall folder of the application folder or perhaps a subfolder of the organization folder that holds them?

In Windows 8.1, we had a rare occurrence where the files in Windows ended up damaged somehow. We have had 4 incidences in many thousands (no clear estimates, we do not have full data on updates.)

Certainly. You can place the uninstaller into a sub folder of the %AppFolder%, or of the %ApplicationDataFolderCommon%. Placing components of the uninstaller or log files into the %WindowsFolder% is no longer recommended, and any new projects created with the project wizard won't use the Windows folder, instead the "%AppFolder%\Uninstall" will be suggested for this.
