WIX | Remove *.config file on install

问题

I have multiple config files (for different environments). During install user get to select the environment, and based on that correct files are copied. I want to delete the extra files that are not used.
I am using but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't get any errors as such, in the log I see action getting executed but files are not deleted. Can anyone please point what I am doing wrong?

  <Component Id="RemoveFiles" Guid="C5D634C2-744E-4CA5-BB44-F3DE88482AB5">
    <RemoveFile Id="RemoveConfigs" Name="???_*.config" On="install" />
  </Component>

My RemoveFile table also looks like

FileKey                 Component           FileName                    DirProperty InstallMode
RemoveExtraConfigFiles  RemoveExtraFiles    p6wjlh9a.con|Web_*.config   INSTALLDIR  1

Still it's not deleting anything

回答1:

RemoveFile or CopyFile always run before InstallFiles, and it finds no files in the install directory, hence it fails.

回答2:

The RemoveFiles action will try to find the files you specified in the parent directory of the component, in case you don't override it in the RemoveFile element itself (according to your sample, you don't). Make sure that it is really a folder containing that file. If the file is not found, the action won't fail - it will silently continue.
