[RESOLVED] InnoSetup - Delete Files During Installation

[bat711]

I have an app that was deployed as a standalone .EXE, it is located on the user's desktop and named in one of two conventions. Is it possible to delete this file during the installation of the update, or would I be better off creating a batch file and using that?

Let me know if I didn't clarify this very well.

bat711,

Look in the help section of Inno Setup for InstallDelete. You will need to include the files/paths of the files you want to delete in that section.

Thanks, I keep forgetting that I'm using ISTool as well and when I was looking around in the help documetation I wasn't finding anything.

For the path can you use the script variables like (userdesktop)\filename.exe?

Thanks...

bat711,

Yes you can.

Thanks,

When you are deleting a file it goes in the [InstallDelete] section, or does it not matter?

bat711,

Yes, it matters and it goes in the InstallDelete section to delete a file/folder before installation begins.

Thanks, again.
