Created Files Test Case

Quality Assurance module only.
The Created Files test case in Test Expert, which is primarily informational, shows files
that were created after installation. After uninstall tests are run, the test case list is
populated with created files and all statuses are set to Pending. Review the list and
select the status for each test item.
Note
Uninstall tests do not appear if a group is open.
Because all uninstall tests are run at the same time, the test items for every test case in
the Uninstall Tests group are updated simultaneously.
This test compares the pre-installation snapshot to the post-uninstall snapshot and
reports the differences between the two snapshots. Files accessed by other applications
can interfere with the test results. Before you run this test, close all applications other
than Wise Package Studio and Test Expert, including all background applications and
services that might access files or registry entries on the testing computer.
It is common for applications to create files, so files listed here do not necessarily
represent errors. If files were created that should not have been created, check custom
actions in the package. To do this, open the package in Windows Installer Editor and
