Create new folder

[matrix2k]

How do I create a new empty folder during installation with InstallAware?

[Gizm0]

By using the Create Folder command.
Specify the path you want, and the folder is created.

Thanks, I'm pretty new at this..
How do I remove a folder?

[MichaelNesmith]

If you want it gone during uninstall, that's automatic.

If you will be uninstalling a folder you didn't create during the install, you can use Delete Files Recursive, or the RemoveDirectoryA function in kernel32.dll through the Call DLL Function plug-in.

Delete Files Recursive doesn't seem to remove the complete folder only the files inside. How do I use the Call DLL function plugin to call kernel32.dll function? Is there a sample script or a screenshot?

Here is a snippet that removes $TARGETDIR$:

Code: Select all

~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Call DLL Function~
~{95B5542A-DF3E-4AFF-B33E-8FCAC80C73FB}~
~RemoveDirectoryA,kernel32.dll,bool,,"pointer to string",$TARGETDIR$,$~
~mIDEFunc.dll\\mEXEFunc.dll~
