When you use the Remove All option in the maintenance mode of Microsoft
Money Setup, the Setup program fails to delete any folders created by
Money.
CAUSE
The Setup program creates Mscreate.dir (a 0-byte hidden file) in
each folder that Setup creates. The file Mscreate.dir indicates that
the folder was created by Setup. When you run Setup in maintenance
mode and remove a component or click Remove All, the Setup program
should use this file to determine whether an empty folder can be
removed. If an empty folder does not contain this file, when you run
Setup in maintenance mode, Setup will not remove this folder.
However, the Setup program used by Money does not actually do this.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in ACME Setup, version
1.2 used with Microsoft Money.
