Hi,
Thanks for replay,I got one solution to delete Folders
WiX RemoveFolder was unable to delete folders as it was containing user
data. So i was trying to delete that folder with cmd which was failing to
delete folders
so i created property with VBScript and folders are deleted successfully
This is code for property
____________________________________________________________________________________________
<Property Id="vbscript">
<![CDATA[
Function main()
strFolderPath = Session.Property("VERSIONPATH")
Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fso.FolderExists(strFolderPath) Then
fields = Split(strFolderPath,"\")
For i = 0 To UBound(fields)-1
if i < UBound(fields)-1 then
FolderPath=FolderPath & fields(i) & "\\"
else
FolderPath=FolderPath & fields(i)
End if
Next
fso.DeleteFolder FolderPath
else
msgbox "Folder not deleted "
End if
End Function
]]>
</Property>
____________________________________________________________________________________________
And called this *property in custom action*
<CustomAction Id ="DeleteFolder" VBScriptCall="main"
Property="vbscript"></CustomAction>
____________________________________________________________________________________________
*This was my earlier custom action by which i was trying to delete folders*
<CustomAction Id="DeleteUBFolder" BinaryKey="cmdexe" ExeCommand='/c RD /S
/Q "[VERSIONPATH]"' Execute="immediate" Return="check" />
this custom action is working fine with 32 bit Os but it is faling in 64 bit
Os
This is Error i am getting
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required
for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support
personnel or package vendor. Action: DeleteFolder, location:
C:\Windows\Installer\MSIE2A4.tmp, command: /c RD /S /Q "C:\Program
Files\ultac"
DeleteFolder. Return value 3.
INSTALL. Return value 3.
Error code 3 :- is for invalid path
If i am doing any thing wrong in this custom action plese sugget me the
correct way to do it
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you.
