Delete Files usage

[Ryan Lee]

When my application runs it creates some files in the target directory (myFile1.txt and myFile2.txt). When uninstalling I want to delete those files. I am currently trying the following with no success.

Code: Select all

DEFINE REGION: Perform Uninstallation
 if Variable REMOVE equals TRUE
   Delete Files $TARGETDIR$\\myFile1.txt (when uninstalling)
   Delete Files $TARGETDIR$\\myFile2.txt (when uninstalling)
   Apply Uninstall (get result into variable SUCCESS)
   Set Variable PROGRESS to 100
 else
  .......

There's a help file article on this in the help file, titled setup commands preceding apply uninstall. That will help you.

It goes in as part of the install section rather than the uninstall section.

Look for this line:

Code: Select all

 Comment: TO-DO: Insert any additional install commands here


and put your delete lines there.

Thanks, I got it working.
