Well if you can't use a newer version of KiX then just SHELL out and use RD /S /Q for what you want to remove.

Files in use can not be removed though. Be quite careful too as any mistakes may render a system non bootable.
 
Always use some type of LEN or other command to verify you're not at the root of the drive.

LOL - no names mentioned. I've actually written my own complete code that did not check the length of the var and removed way too much data

Then there was my disastrous BBChecker uninstall that wiped out my entire HD.

I was waiting for that old memory to come alive.
iirc, it was about the uninstaller script and how it was called and les didn't talk to me for a while...

just a thought, what about deltree.exe

Break On
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')

Dim $File
For Each $File In ReadFile('\\szl-fs9ces1\roxio\delete_profiles.txt')
If Exist('C:\Documents And Settings\'+$File)
shell "deltree /y 'C:\Documents and Settings\$File'"
endif


this doesn't work
how do i shell a something that has quotes in the command?

Try again Rad

He is using:
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')

There are a few FAQs on the use of SHELL and quotes.

I can get it to work this way
shell 'deltree /y "C:\Documents and Settings\dir_to_delete"'
but i can't seem to get it to recognize $File


this works:
Code:
Break On
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')

Dim $File

shell 'deltree /y "C:\Documents and Settings\Dir_to_delete"'



this doesn't
Code:
Break On
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')

Dim $File
For Each $File In ReadFile('\\Server\Share\delete_these_files.txt')
If Exist('C:\program files\'+$File)
shell 'deltree /y "C:\program files\' + $File + '"'
endif

Well DELTREE is not a valid program on 2000/XP/2003 but the RD command is as I've shown before.

The following code should work just fine on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 as long as the user has Administrator rights on the system and there are no files locking the profile.
 


 
Break On
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')

Dim $Profiles,$Profile,$BadProfiles,$File
$Profiles=ExpandEnvironmentVars(ReadValue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList','ProfilesDirectory'))
'Profiles are stored here: ' + $Profiles ?
$File = '\\szl-fs9ces1\roxio\delete_profiles.txt'
$BadProfiles = ReadFile($File)
'Reading profiles from ' + $File ?
'Read error: ' + @ERROR + ' ' + @SERROR ?
For Each $Profile In $BadProfiles
If $Profile
If GetFileAttr($Profiles+'\'+$Profile) & 16
'Bad Profile found: ' + $Profile ?
;Remove the semi-colon from the SHELL line below to actually delete the profile
If Len($Profiles+'\'+$Profile)>10
;SHELL '%COMSPEC% /C RD /S /Q ' + '"'+$Profiles+'\'+$Profile+'"'
EndIf
'Error removing profile: ' + @ERROR + ' ' + @SERROR ?
EndIf
EndIf
Next

Function ReadFile($file)
Dim $lf, $f, $_, $t
$lf=CHR(10)
$f=FreeFileHandle
$_=Open($f,$file)
If @ERROR Exit @ERROR EndIf
Do $t=$t+$lf+ReadLine($f) Until @ERROR
$_=Close($f)
$ReadFile=Split(SubStr($t,2),$lf)
EndFunction

ROFL now - now ... That's just lazy coding. You're letting Ruud take up the slack for you inside the EXE.

What operating systems are we talking about here? I certainly hope the Air Force or whomever is not still running Windows 95/98 systems in production.

DELTREE does not exist on my NT4/2000/XP/2003 systems so if it's working (semi-working) for you then we must be talking about a Windows 95/98/ME system which would mean the RD code I wrote would not work either as Windows 95/98 used a different switch as I recall.
