Program; self deletion

yuyuyuyu

have your program construct a batch file that is then called to delete your program -

you can have a registry key in the RunOnce that points to the path of this batch file and when the pc is rebooted your program will be deleted....

i also used this for an update program - but i didn't delete my program with it - only highly secretive temp files i didn't want to be left lying around

create a batch file using something like

VB Code:

Private Function APPPATH() As String
    
    If Right$(App.Path, 1) <> "\" Then
        APPPATH = App.Path & "\"
     Else
        APPPATH = App.Path
    End If
 
End Function
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
    Open APPPATH & "batch.bat" For Output As #1
    Print #1, "del "; Chr$(34) & APPPATH & App.EXEName & ".exe" & Chr$(34)
    Close #1
    Shell APPPATH & "batch.bat"
    Unload Me
    
 
End Sub

probably best to switch those last 2 lines around like this:

Code:

---

Unload Me
Shell APPPATH & "batch.bat"

---
