Realm Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) I have created an Installer for one of my projects, that creates a Shortcut to the application, and is placed on the Desktop. However while testing my Uninstaller, It does not remove the Shortcut, Maybe some1 could point me in the right direction It is created with this line in my installer: FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramsDir & "\My Application\Core.exe",@DesktopDir & "\My Application.exe") I have tried all 4 of these options, but to no avail. FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "\My Application.exe") FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "\My Application") FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "My Application.exe") FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "My Application") Edited July 1, 2010 by Realm My Contributions: Unix Timestamp: Calculate Unix time, or seconds since Epoch, accounting for your local timezone and daylight savings time.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 30, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2010 Realm,Short cuts have the ".lnk" extension.

Realm Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I tried both FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "My Application.ink") FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "\My Application.ink") unfortunately, it still is not being removed.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 30, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2010 Realm,Perhaps you need to create it with the correct .lnk extension - this works fine for me: Sleep(10000) ConsoleWrite("Creating" & @CRLF) FileCreateShortcut("My.exe", @DesktopDir & "\My.lnk") Sleep(10000) ConsoleWrite("Deleting" & @CRLF) FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "\My.lnk")M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somdcomputerguy Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 @Realm, that is a lowercase 'L', as in .lnk, not .ink. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realm Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Allright, I am still having a problem deleting the shortcut, so I here is my stripped down Installer and my 2 part Uninstaller. Maybe some1 can see where I am going wrong. Edit: Removed Script Hopefully some1 can point out to me where I am going wrong, everything in these files works just fine, except for it will not delete the shortcut that is created by the Installer. Edit: Thanks for all your help, I did eventually find that if I moved the removal to the first part of the uninstaller, it worked great.
