dll issue
The problem that I'm facing is that while uninstalling my app, I delete all the files which include dll files as well. All the file are deleted correctly but the dll files are never removed. One potential reason can be that the dlls are still being used somehow thats why they are not deleted. If it is the problem then how can I make them to stop being used or if this is not the problem then tell me how to delete dll files.

Lookking forward for your replies.

I haven't used these commands.
I don't initially register my dlls so should I've to use UNREGDLL <my.dll> or regsvr32 /u /s <my.dll> in anyway.

I have tried UNREGDLL <my.dll> but these file are still not deleted after using it.
Compiler generates an error on using regsvr32 /u /s <my.dll>.

There is still an error.
On $SYSDIR\regsvr32.exe /u /s <my.dll> compiler says

Invalid command: $SYSDIR\regsvr32.exe

$SYSDIR\regsvr32.exe /u /s <my.dll>
is only the executing part - you have to call it with

exec '"$SYSDIR\regsvr32.exe" /u /s <my.dll>'
or
nsexec::exec '"$SYSDIR\regsvr32.exe" /u /s <my.dll>'

pls read the help file...
