abort function woes

[shaunb]

I dont expect anyone to just magically know why my $INSTDIR isnt fully being deleted, I've tried moving all file handles off it before cleaning up, etc. I dont get why it leaves behind 6 directories in $INSTDIR, all empty, plus , its very odd to me that none of these directories were used or referenced or allocated a file handle etc.

the whole $INSTDIR is empty too (0 bytes total), but has a subtree still existing with these 5 directories and their relevant subdirs, it cleans up $TEMP and other install locations fine, just not $INSTDIR, as I said before I've setoutpath to somewhere other than $INSTDIR before cleaning up.

any clues would be appreciated although I know someone can't just magically know, well maybe.

thanks people.

Function .onAbort
# stale file handles would stop something being deleted
RMDir /r "$CFDIR\customtags\icm"
SetOutPath $CFDIR
RMDIR /r "$INSTDIR"
RMDIR /r $INSTDIR
RMDIR $INSTDIR
RMDir /r "$TEMP\${gossTemp}"
Delete $TEMP\testlogin*
Delete c:\adminapi.log
RMDir /r "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web"
SetOutPath $TEMP
FunctionEnd

edit: yeah, I know theres 3 rmdirs for instdir in there but that was merely me testing stuff
