Using RMDir with both /R and /REBOOTOK: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:03, 24 June 2005

This is no longer an issue for NSIS version 2.01 and above.

Issue: I want to delete a complete directory structure, but I don't know if the files it contains are in use. But RMDir ... /R /REBOOTOK doesn't work.

Solution: Upgrade to the latest version of NSIS. If you can't upgrade, use Delete /REBOOTOK (works with wildcards) and use RMDir /REBOOTOK on an empty directory, or a directory that's about to become empty after a reboot.
