K1000 Search File System Does not work (Version 5.4)
Testing with this and can never get to work. Under verify script step select "Search file system.."
Options:
Type: file
Name: test123.txt
Directory \
Drives: C:
Action: Delete
Does nothing. I've tried all sorts of combinations. Any idea, or proper syntax?
Thanks

This may be a "special use" scenario - a call to KACE support may help clarify what the Action : Delete is actually used for (and if it should be working as intended here).
Otherwise, if you're just trying to delete a file (period), you could setup a script as follows:
1) Copy the Uninstall Msiexec Template - the other scripts don't appear to have the "Run a batch file option" (ignore if you prefer using vbscript/powershell).
2) In the Task section select, Verify - Verify a file exists...
3) Select On Success, then Run a Batch File and specify your commands to delete the file.
As mentioned before, this can also be done using vbscript or powershell, but the setup would be a little different. Same idea, though.

I've always done it with a batch script. That said, this should really work. I tested it as well, and could not figure out the proper syntax, whether Drives: C, Drives C:, or Drives C:\ etc. The same for directory /temp/, /temp, temp/, or temp. There are a lot of detail features like this where I am not aware of any documentation. Usually I can guess, but this appears cryptic. - philologist 12 years ago
"Search file system.." task in scripting is not working. This is a bug in version 5.3.
