kernel32.dll->RemoveDirectoryA fails on X2

Hi,
In the process of migration from Install Aware ver.12 to X2 I have found that "kernel32.dll->RemoveDirectoryA" calls started failing. Could you please help with this issue?
It would be preferable to find solution which will work with both ver.12 and X2/3 since we have some scripts shared among new and old products.

Dear Pldragun,
Try to use the UNICODE version of the WINAPI instead.
Code: Select all
~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Call DLL Function~
~{6D0C9E4A-CDA1-4E22-B5DF-D32B18554E29}~
~kernel32.dll,RemoveDirectoryW,bool,,"pointer to UNICODE string",$MYPATH$,$~
~mIDEFunc.dll\mEXEFunc.dll~
~Set Variable~
~{A99EBE41-C372-46D0-BB94-A86ACC083150}~
~MYPATH$MYAH$MYAH$FALSE~
~F:\mypath~
~Comment~
~{03C385D7-034F-4356-B4CF-79DC93BC511A}~
~UNICODE~
Code: Select all
Comment: UNICODE
Set Variable MYPATH to F:\mypath
Call DLL Function kernel32.dll->RemoveDirectoryW
Regards

I tried to use "Delete Files Recursive" with path to the folder (emptied before) as a parameter - it looks working. Is it a way?

It's also correct your approach.

Unfortunately RemoveDirectoryW (param = pointer to UNICODE string) causes the same script failure with X2.
Besides that, there is no such parameter type on ver12 so it will be impossible to use the same script code for both variants.

Dear Pldragun,
Of course the UNICODE version of "RemoveDirectory" (RemoveDirectoryW) can be exclusively used with UNICODE versions of IA.
That said it must work on IA X2, I use the same with my projects without problems.
