Use innosetup script to delete previously installed application folder
I am deleting the previous application usin开发者_如何学运维g the script which inturn calls my .net app. All i want is to actually delete the folder(entire app1) from start menu (start->Programs->app1->uninstall app1)?
Thanks Gauls
If you just want to delete the "uninstall app1" icon from the Start menu, the following should work:
[InstallDelete]
Type: files; Name: "{group}\uninstall app1"
If you want to remove the entire program group from the start menu, use the following:
[InstallDelete]
Type: filesandordirs; Name: "{group}"
This assumes that your Inno Setup script Start menu folder name is the same as the previous "app1" application.
None of those worked for me, after work-around, here is my solution; in [Setup]
//Delete old entry folder from start menu
procedure DeleteOldStartMenuEntry;
var
entry: String;
begin
//Replace "Diviner" with desired folder name
entry := ExpandConstant('{commonprograms}') + '\Diviner\';
if DirExists(entry) then begin
DelTree(entry, true, true, true);
end
end;
Inside InitializeSetup call your procedure :
function InitializeSetup: Boolean;
var:
....
begin
....
DeleteOldStartMenuEntry;
....
end;
Thanks Craig my new app doesn't have the same name (app2) following worked for me
[InstallDelete]
Type: filesandordirs; Name: {commonprograms}\app1
