My first Words

Welcome all,

This is a blog, which I have created for describing my experiences in MSI technology.
Presently I am working on WISE tool for creating MSI.

You all are welcome to have a look at my experiences and post your comments about them.
Some of my experiences might help you sometimes while you are packaging something similar.

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to remove an empty folder or a folder with randomly generated files in it using wise functionality.
how to use REMOVE FOLDERS ACTION effectively which is a wise functionality?
we tried REMOVE FOLDERS ACTION and files are removed but empty Folders are not getting removed.
we want to remove the empty Folders.
we cannot use Vbscript.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can use remove file to remove an empty folder. go to the folder and create Remove file entry with All files (*) value. Then Goto remove file table and remove the (*) from there. let it be blank. this will remove the folder if it is empty... Specify when you want to delete it, while installation, uninstallation or both (1,2 or3)...
Let me know if you need any other help...

I think you need to first give permission to the folder were you are adding this. You can use xcacls.exe for this. Let me know if u get this solved.
