Problem with delete function
Hi Freidrich,
Tried to use the DELETE FILE function and in my script I have a zip file
that gets installed to a folder %_SB_ROOT%\yada\yada\yada\ and the contents
are unzipped using the UNZIP function. After the files are unzipped I want
to delete the file. No matter where I put the delete file function it
wouldn't delete the file after it was unzipped. I tried using the
%_SB_ROOT%\yada\yada\yada\zipfile.zip or even the C:\yada\yada\yada and it
still wouldn't delete the zip file prior to ending the install (I moved the
delete function to close to the end of the installer.) What's the secret?
And shouldn't we be able to use the %_SB_ROOT% token?

Re: Problem with delete function
Hi Ben,
If you display %_SB_ROOT%\yada\yada\yada\ in a "Display Message Box..."
script function, what do you see?
BTW, %_SB_ROOT% is automatically set when %_SB_INSTALLDIR% gets a (new)
value.
And what's the return value of your Delete File(s) function (just display
%_SB_ERRORCODE using "Display Message Box...")

Re: Problem with delete function
Ben,
I checked it on several different machines (including Vista) but cannot
reproduce it here :-(
The following unzips the files and deletes ben.zip:
Unzip Archive "c:\consulting\ben.zip" to "c:\consulting"
Delete Files "c:\consulting\ben.zip"
Would it be possible for you to send me a small demo project?
Thanks,
Friedrich
