unload dll from memory
Hi

2nd problem

i have a dll here which is not a registered dll - any attempts to do so failed

this dll is somewhere - not any system folder.
i made effort to replace it with the UnloadDLL script - the reboot option is offered.

but when i try to delete this dll inc the folder i made no effort

rmdir /rebootok does not work till now (2b3) - tried several solutions from this forum.

UnRegDLL <dll> does not work either

i can delete it with the wininit.ini (OS=XP) but the folder is not deleted yet.

any hints?

THX

Does it work if you put RMDir /REBOOTOK after UpgradeDLL?

Hi Joost

rmdir /rebootok causes error - must be rmdir /r :(

To delete a file after reboot you should use Delete /REBOOTOK not RMDir /REBOOTOK. Use Delete /REBOOTOK on the file first and then RMDir /REBOOTOK on the folder containing the file, it should execute in the order you specify it.

you are talking about the cvs?
cvs causes errors during compilation on my script while 2b3 does not

RMDir /REBOOTOK is the only thing that depends on the latest CVS version, other things apply to b3 too.

What errors do you get when you get the latest CVS version? If it's MUI errors then you should probably read the MUI readme again, define names and other things have changed. If not, attach the output of makensis.exe here and I'll have a look.

readme.htm
Old Section "7. Insert the MUI_SECTIONS_FINISHHEADER macro"
is missing

:hang:

That's because you don't need MUI_SECTIONS_FINISHHEADER any more :)

@kichik

thank you very much - i deleted it and put the new strings from MUI into.

it is always strange to use something and then someones tells me i dont need it any longer ;)

BTW the history file told me about nsis 2b4 - is this the cvs (loaded on 27th of mai) ?

from my other posting - it went wrong there.

  ;check first if deletable
  Delete $R1
  IfFileExists $R1 0 copy

  loop:
    StrCpy $R2 $R1.$R3.tmp
    IfFileExists $R2 0 done
    IntOp $R3 $R3 + 1
    Goto loop

  done:
  Rename $R1 $R2
  
  copy:
  ;file was found and renamed
  File "yourdll.dll"
  ;delete old TMP-files on next boot
  Delete /REBOOTOK "$INSTDIR\*.tmp"
