Hello
First of all...sorry for my very bad english...
I have a pb with my uninstaller.
For my software, I need to create a new user named "demo".
So, I want to delete it when I uninstall my soft.
I manage to do that but I'd like to delete his personal folder (documents and settings\demo)too.
But when I do that (thanks rmdir /R), it give me an error and the folder is not erased...
How can I do this ?
Thank you.
Delete Documents and Settings\username

The folder may probably still be in use. In that case, you need to use:
RmDir /r /rebootok
This will delete it on reboot.

I've already try to do that but without success...
However, I can delete this folder manually, without pb.
Have somebody another idea ?
Thanks

Make sure that the folder you are trying to delete IS NOT the working directory. (You cannot delete the working directory.) Do this by using SetOutPath to set to a different working directory first.
Example:
Example:
SetOutPath "C:\foo"
RMDir /r "C:\Documents and Settings\demo"
Yes, I've done that but it's always the same...the demo folder isn't deleted...

It isn't deleted after reboot either?

No, it's not deleted even after reboot.
For the moment, I've found another solution, but it's a little "violent" :
Thanks a lot for all your answers !
