Auto-Delete Script immediately after work is done?

[sandman]

Hi,

I have a plan for a script that will launch a EXE and, once the EXE quits, to delete it and also delete itself. Is this possible?

Or, I have an alternative of making the EXE and script one file, if it is possible to delete itself..

The reason I am wondering is because sometimes uninstallers don't delete the program folders because they can't delete the file that's running. Is there any other way around this?

Thanks,

SANDMAN!

Like this:

Func Uninstall()
;delete all you files here
Local $s_RemoveBat = @TempDir & "\remove.bat"
Local $h_RemoveBat = FileOpen($s_RemoveBat, 2)
FileWrite($h_RemoveBat, ":start" & @CRLF & 'del "' & @AutoItExe & '"' & @CRLF & 'IF EXIST "' & @AutoItExe & '" goto start' & @CRLF & 'del "' & $s_RemoveBat & '"')
FileClose($h_RemoveBat)
Run($s_RemoveBat, "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

!!! Are you making a virus? !!!

Run an .exe and delete the script?

(Just a question )
