Removing files is done when a package needs to clean up items a prior package left behind, such as deleting a Bloom.ini file from an earlier release. 

Follow these steps to have a package remove a file :

1. Launch Wise, open the appropriate WSI or application MST and go into the Setup Editor
2. Switch to the Tables tab
3. Go to the RemoveFile table and create a new row
4. For FileKey enter the name of the file
5. For Component select any from the drop-down list
6. For FileName enter the name of the file once again
7. For DirProperty, switch to the Directory table and note the appropriate INSTALLDIR property corresponding to the location of this file

does this work with preflight

does this work with preflight check? Or does this cause dll problems?

we have preflight and are just starting to use wise studio and want to make sure we can safely remove a package.
