How to delete a file from pocket PC in the process of install

[maveraa]

Hi ;

I have a script which sent some cab files to pocket pc and install them.

I want my script to do that: When installing is finished, control the install directory on pocket pc (ex: program files\Demo) and delete a file specified(ex: demo.sdf).

How can I do that?

Thanks..

I think System::Call rapi::CeDeleteFile.... should work for you.

Thanks for your quick response.

I have no idea about code you wrote. Can you give me a link, refference or a key words about it?

Have a look at the NSIS website. In the developer center there are PDA examples where you can read more about it.

Only example I can found is this: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Copying_files_to_pda

However, I couldn't solve my problem with this link.

Is there any example directly about CeDeleteFile?

Can´t test it in the moment but it should be:

PHP Code:

System::Call "rapi::CeRapiInit()" ;initialize RAPI connection
System::Call "rapi::CeDeleteFile(w '\somefile.ext')" ;delete "somfile.ext"
System::Call "rapi::CeRapiUninit()" ;UNinitialize RAPI connection
System::Free 0 ;free up mem. 


cheers

It's worked Highcoder. Thank you very much.

Fine.
But keep in mind that there is no errorhandling in this code...

The better code is:

PHP Code:

StrCpy $0 "" ;set $0 to "nothing"
System::Call "rapi::CeRapiInit() i .r0" ;initialize RAPI and put returncode to $0. 0=success
StrCmp $0 "0" +3 0 ; if errors display Message & abort, else delete file.
MessageBox MB_OK "error initializing rapi interface. make sure the device is connected"
abort
System::Call "rapi::CeDeleteFile(w '\somefile.ext')" ;delete "somfile.ext" 
System::Call "rapi::CeRapiUninit()" ;UNinitialize RAPI connection 
System::Free 0 ;free up mem. 


have fun
