Software Deployment

What do you exactly need?
Do you want a CA code to delete any specific folder? Which scripting are you using?

hi
i dont want vbscript custom action.Just a custom action to delete folder

there is no custom action just to remove a folder / file

you can use the removefile table to do the following

1) delete files during installation or uninstallation
2) remove folders only if they are empty

hi,
I want a script to delete folder but in the properties it shuld be In-Script option .Plz help me on this.I am very confused.

Anyhow, Cygan's right. Either use the RemoveFile table, or write a VBScript Custom Action (type 38) with IN-SCRIPT EXECUTION set to Deferred in a System Context , and schedule it just before InstallFinalize.

You don't NEED a CA to remove a folder. As directed, use the RemoveFile table.

And, if you want a VBScript to do so, here it is.
It would delete the 'C:\Test' folder.

dim filesys, instfolder
set filesys = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set instfolder = filesys.GetFolder("C:\Test\")
instfolder.Delete

Use this code in the custom action 'Call VBScript From Embedded Code', and sequence it in the manner what captain_planet has written above.
Don't forget to tell, if it worked or not.

Guys thanks a lot,I got the solution

I used the method wot 'Captain Planet' and 'WiseAppPackager' has told me .It worked.Thanks a lot guys

If you MUST go this route...dim filesys, instfolder
set filesys = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'// Does the object 'filesys' now exist? Er...we don't know
set instfolder = filesys.GetFolder("C:\Test\")
'// Does the object 'instfolder' now exist? Er...we don't know that, either
instfolder.Delete
'// Did the folder get deleted? Ummm...we hope so Error-trap, error-trap, error-trap, for God's sake. Always assume your code will FAIL!
