Dear all,

How can i create an setup package which will find for some files in certain folders and then delete them? For eg, i want to find file1, file2 and file3 in
C:\FOLDER1\ and if they r found, delete them.

I have a software INNOSETUP but it's very demanding to learn the software's language and it consumes lots of time to do so.

Anybody knows easier way of doing this?

Thanks.

Albert

Hi,

Just in case, do you realize that creating a setup package is a little bit more then just copying/deleting files in certain folders?

Yes. Creating a setup package is a simple process but how to find and delete certain files in certain folders is another matter in which i dont want those files in that folder.

Well if I assume your using vb 6 code still for the matter, try this:

Detect if file is somewhere...

Dim FirstDirectory As String

FirstDirectory = (Directory) 'Ex: "D:\Program Files\Stupid Folder\hi.exe"
If Dir(FirstDirectory) = "" Then
MsgBox "File Is Not There"
Else
MsgBox "File Is There"
'Kill (Directory) 'Ex: Kill ("D:\Program Files\Stupid Folder\hi.exe")
End If

If this doesn't help sorry, but I gave it a shot for ya Good Luck
