Good Day All,
I am in the process of moving to C6 and would like to remove the C55 DLLs
when the user installs the new version. Example: C55RUNX.DLL and the
like...

Should I do this using SetupBuilder or should I do it in the application at
startup?

If from SetupBuilder how do I get it accomplished.

Thanks in advance,
Bob

Bob,

If you decide to do it from SetupBuilder, you only have to use the "Delete
Local File(s)..." script function.

Wildcards are allowed in this function, so you can use:

Delete Local Files "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%\C55*.DLL"

Does this help?

One question. Would I put this code in the loop of some where else?

Bob,

I would suggest to do it after the "Display Setup Progress Dialog" item.

And if you would like to change the Progress bar text to "Removing old
application files..." or something like that, just use "Progress Dialog:
Status Text"
