Remove OutFile

[mickmo]

Hello, I was told by my boss to learn NSIS and use it for the program I created. I finally figured out how to use it thanks to the documentation and this discussion site. However, there is one thing I would like to do in NSIS and haven't been able to fiqure out. Is it possible to delete the Outfile after the user installs the program?
I have tried to use delete command and I even hard coded the path and nothing seemed to work. Is it possible to delete this file through code? If it is how?

Thank you.

Read this.

If you also want a proper uninstall, do something like this

code:
name deleter

outfile deleter.exe



SilentInstall silent



section

  Sleep 500

  Call GetParameters

  Pop $0

  Delete $0

sectionend



Function GetParameters

  Push $0

  Push $1

  Push $2

  StrCpy $0 $CMDLINE 1

  StrCpy $1 '"'

  StrCpy $2 1

  StrCmp $0 '"' loop

    StrCpy $1 ' ' ; we're scanning for a space instead of a quote

  loop:

    StrCpy $0 $CMDLINE 1 $2

    StrCmp $0 $1 loop2

    StrCmp $0 "" loop2

    IntOp $2 $2 + 1

    Goto loop

  loop2:

    IntOp $2 $2 + 1

    StrCpy $0 $CMDLINE 1 $2

    StrCmp $0 " " loop2

  StrCpy $0 $CMDLINE "" $2

  Pop $2

  Pop $1

  Exch $0

FunctionEnd

That's the deleter. In the installer do something like this

code:
outfile prob.exe

name prob



section

sectionend



function .onInstSuccess

  SetOutPath $TEMP

  File /oname=_deleter.exe deleter.exe

  Exec '$TEMP\_deleter.exe $EXEDIR\prob.exe'

functionend

The exe might have been renamed though...
