Can not remove dir on windows 98
 

Hi All,
My uninstaller works superbly on winXP and doesn't leave any files or folders behind. But on Windows 98/ME the same installer's uninstaller process leaves 2 empty folders even though I am using /REBOOTOK and /r flag with RMDIR command to delete those folders.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing this.
Thanks,
Monika

Did you change the working folder with SetOutPath before deleting the folders?

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes I do set the dir using SetOutPath but still it doesn't remove that directory. Can you suggest any other solution?
Thanks

In other words, Afrow UK means that SetOutPath should not point to the folder you are trying to delete. Try SetOutPath "$TEMP", then try deleting the folders.

Thanks for the response. I tried setting path to some different directory than the one which I need to delete and it still leave the folder behind. Other thing I would like to mention is before rebooting the machine I find few dlls in that directory which are in use which only gets deleted after reboot but the folder is left behind still.

Don't know what other solutions there are. Could be a bug. You could also try ending the processes using the dlls before deleting the folder.
