RMDir /REBOOTOK behaviour
I would be surprised if this hasn't been mentioned before. I searched this forum and the bug tracker and couldn't find anything relevant. My apologies if this has already been discussed.

It appears that when RMDir /REBOOTOK attempts to delete a directory that does not exist, the RebootFlag is set to true. Note that this does not occur when Delete /REBOOTOK attempts to delete a file that does not exist.

I have attached a script that demonstrates this.

Is this a bug with RMDir? I believe it should behave the same as Delete and realize that the directory does not exist, therefore no reboot is required.


That's weird. Seems MoveFileEx allows moving non existent files after reboot. Please submit this to the bug tracker. I'll take a better look at it after 2.03.


Thanks kichik. As requested, I placed a post in the bug tracker.
