Delete a non-empty directory, and all it's subdirectories

[rustyshelf]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to (on installation) delete a directory (if it exists) and all its sub-directories, which all contain files. I have figured out that you can't do it as a property of the directory (because it's not empty). I have also figured out the DOS command that I need:
rd /s /q directoryName
But I can't figure out how to add this as a custom action, because it's not an EXE or a VB script.

Is there any easy way to do this? Am I missing something

Hi,

You could use a a custom action that executes a VBScript.

This topic had been discussed before on the Advanced Installer forums. For en example of such a VBScript and for more details on how to set up the custom action please see the following post:

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Best regards,
