I've created an Install shield 2009 installation which installs a number of files to C:\Program Files. When running on Windows 7 the installation works perfectly. However, when an uninstall is performed the files are removed from C:\Program Files BUT are not removed from the VirtualStore automatically. Is there a way to do this without having to delete the files manually?

If the files are created by the installer than it should remove them, to see why they don't get removed I recommend creating a verbose log. If the files are created by the application, after the installation, then you will need to remove them manually.
