I read that using Uninstall_Exit we can clean up application files during
uninstallation in the MS Pocket PC Application development guidelines. Can
anyone point me in a direction where I can use this feature with a CF
application?

No, this has to be implemented in a native (eVC++) dll which is included in
your setup CAB.
..NETCF doesn't have the ability to expose methods in a dll which can be
called by native code.

Thanks Peter,

Is there any documentation on how to write this DLL? I assume there is
already a vsd_setup.dll involved.

vsd_setup.dll is only required to allow detection of the framework on the
device. If you verify framework presence in other way or don't care at all,
you can go ahead and write your own custom setup.dll. Moreover, you can
invoke vsd_setup.dll during install from your setup.dll and get both.

For an example of CESetupDLL see Samples\Win32\SetupDLL in PPC2003 SDK
 
Thanks very much for the details. I will check it out.
