Hi there,

I mostly use autoit with installation packages that autounzip to a temporary folder.

Example: C:\Documents and Settings\santiago\Local Settings\Temp\ckz_8607\

The autounzip then runs the compiled autoit script.

Example: C:\Documents and Settings\santiago\Local Settings\Temp\ckz_8607\setup.exe

At the end of the script, I'd like to clean my traces.

DirRemove(@ScriptDir)

But this doesn't work. Probably because the script cannot delete itself. Thus this is possible with a MS-DOS batch script.

Any advice?
