Remove files/directory before installation

[eddywright]

Hello, I'm testing out your installer and would like to know if there is a way to check for files or directories in the destination folder and remove them prior to installation? Usually just overwriting will work but in this case, the files were consolidated into a single new file and the old files need to be deleted.

Thanks,
Eddy

Hello Eddy,

Yes, it is possible with Actual Installer.

Go to the System\Commands page and add:

Code: Select all

Command: <SystemDir>\cmd.exe
Parameters: /C IF EXIST "<InstallDir>\File.exe" del /Q "<InstallDir>\File.exe"
Launch on OS: All
Show: Normal
Launch: After Folder Select
Wait: No

Thanks, that's the tip I needed.

Just bought the Pro version, I'm sure I'll have a few more questions.
