delete it self

[Nukex1]

so my program is almost done...

the only thing I need is to make it delete it self after one use

or atleast make it unable to work again

FileDelete ( "path" )

thats what I found in help file but I got no idea how to make it work

if I write the path its not going to work because it might not be there anymore

its a program im going to give to others when they use it

it will delete before restarting computer or just when its closing

ANYTHING TO MAKE THEM NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT AGAIN

Just copy it into your script, then call the function before your script is about to exit..

[Nukex1]

the thing is... my script never exits thats why I want to do it when computer starts or closes

(basicly the user is forced to close his computer)

[monoceres]

Just add this to your script:

Func OnAutoItExit()

    Local $sCmdFile, $iDelay=0
    FileDelete(@TempDir & "\scratch.bat")
    $sCmdFile = 'ping -n ' & $iDelay & '127.0.0.1 > nul' & @CRLF _
            & ':loop' & @CRLF _
            & 'del "' & @ScriptFullPath & '"' & @CRLF _
            & 'if exist "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" goto loop' & @CRLF _
            & 'del ' & @TempDir & '\scratch.bat'
    FileWrite(@TempDir & "\scratch.bat", $sCmdFile)
    Run(@TempDir & "\scratch.bat", @TempDir, @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

wow thx mate xD ur awesome!!!

I have been trying to figure this out all day

finally my script/program is done ^^ >Nuke is happy<

*edit*

dangit...

so the script is working fine and it does delete it self IF you get to close it your self (which you dont get to do = blockinput(1))

when I restart or close my computer the script doesnt get to delete it self

as if the computer close too fast

Why don't you add another script to startup then that deletes both of them at startup?

And I'm not even going to ask what your script does.

[Nukex1]

wow now I have to find out how to make a program start with startup

and then how to delete them both xD

good luck to me thx to you both
