Hi,
Every install I need to delete de Formats.FDB file in the data folder.
I´m using the Delet file script command and allways returns error1.
The path name is ok and so on.
What else can I check?
Thanks
Alberto

If the function succeeds, the %_SB_ERRORCODE% return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero

In other words, if your %_SB_ERRORCODE% returns "1" then you are safe and
the Delete File(s) installer function deleted the file.

Does this help?

With SB71? The "Delete File(s)..." function is a wrapper to the DeleteFile
Windows API. If this function fails then "0" is returned.

Just tested this in different scenarios (file locked, file not found, file
read-only) and it only returns a nonzero value if the function succeeded.
