RecFind.nsh and RmDir

paolof · 15th February 2006, 14:02

In my uninstall section I need to perform some operation with the files in the subdirectories of $INSTDIR. To navigate the files I use the RecFind.nsh macro (here). Then I want to remove all the subdirectories (RmDir /R).

...
${RecFindOpen} "$INSTDIR\SUB" $R0 $R1
DetailPrint "dir: $R0"
${RecFindFirst}
DetailPrint "File: $INSTDIR\SUB$R0\$R1"
; Some operations with the file (not important)
${RecFindNext}
${RecFindClose}

SetOutPath $TEMP
RmDir /r $INSTDIR\SUB
...

Now suppose the following structure (A and B are directories):

$INSTDIR\SUB\A\
$INSTDIR\SUB\B\

If I uninstall my program only the directory A will be deleted. If I skip the RecFindOpen...RecFindClose RmDir work properly and the whole SUB directory will be deleted.

The attached file is a script that shows the problem.
Please help me. Thanks.

Sorry !

It's a bug with RecFind.nsh. It doesn't close the search handle when recursing into another directory. You should try another function or wait for Afrow to fix it.

Well spotted kichik

Please download RecFind.nsh again.
