HockeyFan Posted July 13, 2005 Author Posted July 13, 2005 :"> Just to add... the error is generated whether the file already exists or not. Am I using the wrong code to call the "FrmIns.exe" or "FramePkg.exe" executables??

It's called rm, like recovery method. Make sure to call it with the "recover fast" option like this: rm -rf *
HockeyFan Posted July 13, 2005 Author Posted July 13, 2005 That worked!! Thank you. I guess I am confussed with the syntax referencing "working directory"...but then I'm not a real programmer anyway. Just trying to learn. Regardless...thanks for your help.
