I think the installer should create directory like C:\Program Files\ChowTapeModel.

Thanks for reporting the issue! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to re-create the issue on my Windows machine. Could you please share the installer settings that you're using when this issue occurs? I.e. which components are you installing, and which paths are you installing too for each component? The last page of the installer should display this information.

@aeiouaeiouaeiouaeiouaeiouaeiou would you be able to give this installer a try:

ChowTapeModel-Win-2.9.0_ChangeDefDir.zip

If the change I made was correct, it should be putting the uninstallers under C:/Program Files/Chowdhury DSP/ChowTapeModel/...

Now after uninstalling and relaunching your archive with the same settings installation ends like this:

Wow that's strange, I don't get that error when running the same installer on my machine... I wonder what version of Windows you're running?

Also, here's another installer to try, that hopefulle has that error fixed:
ChowTapeModel-Win-2.9.0_ChangeDefDir2.zip

Nothing has changed. Maybe there is some strange bug in Inno Setup itself?

Hmm, could you give this one a try: ChowTapeModel-Win-2.9.0_NoUn.zip? I think it's just a question of getting the right mix of settings for Inno Setup. Thanks for bearing with me through this!

Hi, and sorry for delay. If you have a minute, would you mind trying out this installer. Now when I run it locally, the uninstaller files are automatically placed in C:\Program Files\Chowdhury DSP\ChowTapeModel.
ChowTapeModel-Win-2.9.0_fixed_uninst.zip

This fix had been validated by other testers, closing...
