FileDelete problem

[Pottery]

Hey, I need help with 1 thing. I'm trying to make a time period check and it looks like this:

If _NowDate()="2/12/2010" Then
MsgBox(64, "fateHook - Error", "Your trial time has run out, ask Exhalt for a new one!")
FileDelete(@WorkingDir & "\loader.exe")
Exit
Else
MsgBox(64, "fateHook - Valid", "Press OK to continue with the loading process!")
EndIf

The problem is, when the time runs out the message will come up, but the file won't delete. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts about the issue I would be very happy to hear them, thank you in advance for any attemps at helping me -Exhalt

Only thing I can think of is that loader.exe isn't in the Working Directory, but somewhere else

Is that file running when the code is trying to delete it? If so, it can't be deleted while it is.

Hmm, no it's in there. I did MsgBox(0, "Test", @WorkingDir) to see if it was the right command and folder, it was. Thanks for the quick response though

Extremely fast, I'd say you got lucky this time

There's another script in the Wrappers that makes a script delete itself, you can use that.

Ok, thanks; I'll look into that

Could you tell me what the wrapper command is? Also, with the FileDelete function is it possible to permanently delete it; I tried FileDelete but the file ends up in recycling bin.

There isn't a wrappers command. They're snippets of code to put in your script:
