I'm trying to delete image files being used in an old background (.gif files) and replace them with new, higher resolution, images (.png).

How do I delete the old files using the installer?

Hi,

I don't understand very well what do you mean. What to install, where?

I created an application that used .gif files for background images. I need to create a patch that replaces a .dll, deletes the old .gif files and installs the new .png files.

I can get the installer to replace the .dll's and install the .png's, but I can't figure out how to delete the old .gif files using the installer.

I know I could always delete them manually after rebooting, but I don't want to have to walk 127 users through the process.

Hi,

I get it. Only one question. Is this application for mobile windows, or for windows?

Hi,

I have add two new sections in the Win32 Installation Module, Delete on Install and Delete on Uninstall. Simple add there what you want to delete during install or uninstall.

This is for windows applications. For Mobile Application, if you want to delete something while installing, you must write a custom setup dll and include it into your CAB Creator Module.

It's for Windows Mobile 6
