I'm trying to do a custom action when unistalling an Application. These should be done in quiet mode. Therefore I've that part of code to make it working:
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<Fragment>
<Property Id="APPFOLDER">
<RegistrySearch Id="PATH"
Key="Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]"
Root="HKLM"
Type="raw"
Name="InstallPath" />
</Property>
<CustomAction Id="CleanupAppDirCmd"
Property="CleanupAppDir"
Value='rmdir /s/q "[APPFOLDER]"'
Execute="immediate"/>
<CustomAction Id="CleanupAppDir"
BinaryKey="WixCA"
DllEntry="CAQuietExec"
Execute="deferred"
Return="ignore"
Impersonate="no"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CleanupAppDirCmd"
After="CostFinalize"/>
<Custom Action="CleanupAppDir"
After="RemoveFiles">
REMOVE="ALL"
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
</Fragment>
</Wix>
But nothing happens. The directory still exists after finishing the uninstall. The uninstall-log tells me following:

I've tried several changes in the value of CleanupAppDirCmd
but nothing worked. What I'm doing wrong?
rmdir isn't an EXE that can be executed, it's a shell command internal to cmd.exe.
I'd suggest looking at RemoveFolderEx Element (Util Extension) . It'll be a much better solution including rollback of the delete if the install fails or is cancelled. (Very important)
