Problem Deleting $instdir
How can I delete the $INSTDIR

I have this in my uninstaller :
Delete "$INSTDIR\mplayercXP.exe"
Delete "$INSTDIR"

But it doesnt delete the map :(

InstallDirRegKey HKLM "SOFTWARE\AnimeSupremeCodecPack\20040220" ""

What special thing do I need to insert in my uninstaller?

Thanks, VegetaSan

To remove the folder it should be completely empty and unused.

Use a recursive removal if you want to remove its contents.

Use RMDir instead of delete. Also put the /r switch after RMDir. It deletes the folder regardless of whats in it.

How I can delete all files with recursive? I can delete files in one folder, but uninstaller don't delete files in subfolder.
Did you add some parametr, that will be delete all files in folder and subfolders?
