Removing program settings with nullsoft uninstaller

Question

I have a C# program that is installed using Nullsoft installer script and I have discovered that the program is littering files :) .

The program is using:

Properties.Settings.Default.Save

to store settings. These settings seems to end up in a folder with a very nontrivial name like:

$user/appdata/local/$publisher/myprogram_Url_sad546a5s4d6a5sd1adsd6/$version/

So my question is: How do I find this name from NullSoft so I can remove the files?

A quick and dirty solution would of course be to remove every older containing the name "myprogram" but that would prevent having several versions of the program.

Answer 1

You can search for files/folders with the ${Locate} "$localappdata\\$publisher" "/L=D /G=0 /M=myprogram_*" MyCallbackfunc macro and check in MyCallbackfunc if that folder contains a $version folder. You can also call FindFirst directly if you don't want to use a macro...
