I'll bet a steak dinner at the next LiveCode convention that if you show hidden files and system files and then run the uninstaller in the old mode, you will see new temporary files created. Bob On Jan 6, 2011, at 4:55 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Tiemo Hollmann wrote: > >> I can't provide a

A tool I've used on Windows to good measure is Unlocker [1]. If you manually try to delete something that can't be deleted, it will tell you why, what task is responsible, and let you sever the connection so you can continue in your wanton destruction of data unimpeded. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsani

I posted before reading everything. I just got back from vacation. I will bet there are invisible temp files that are being created in the working directory. Your solution obviously gets by that. Bob On Jan 5, 2011, at 9:08 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Indeed they should, and as I noted below

Re: Windows error 32

Is the uninstaller app in the application folder? If so, then that is your problem. That is probably why there is an add/remove programs feature in Windows. Apps cannot delete themselves, although they should be able to move themselves to the trash, and then delete the folder they were launched

Re: Windows error 32 - SOLVED

If any of you ever need to do anything like this, the solution turned out to be quite simple: I noticed that I could use the same "delete folder" command from within LC to delete the folder in question, just not from the app that originates in the problem folder. Since the OS error is 32 (ob

Re: Windows error 32

Hey Richard, Bummer. I've had situations in which a clean reboot STILL did not unlock a folder. Windows permissions are so difficult to manage, and sometimes they get stuck. Sorry I can't be of much help here, but there's a program which I use to try and determine what app is locking the folder:

Hi Richard, All I know is that the Uninstaller created by the Installer Maker Plugin is able to remove the last folder if it is launched from the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Maybe that's the trick? -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Hom

Windows error 32

I'm making an uninstaller for one of my apps on Windows, and everything's working swell except for one detail: I can delete all files and folders related to the install with ease, but when I try to delete the application folder sysError returns 32, which means it's in use by another process.
