It is indeed a brillian idea to use COMSPEC to remove the dir. But my system is screw up as I can't import the reg setting to Uninstall location. I'm doing a fresh install now.

All expert in this forum knows the advantage of using INF to install a software, so I follow the footsteps. But I'm some how lost cause my INF is only 150% complete. You might wonder what the hack is "only 150% complete"? So let me continue............. The experimental target software is call ConvertZ. The INF that I created basically create a folder at %ProgramFiles%\ConvertZv740 and copy all the files declare in [ConvertZ.copy]. Then it create 2 shortcuts at 2 different locations and finally it import some registry stuff so that an entry is added to the Add/Remove Program. That's the 100% portion for INSTALL. But when I uninstall from the Add/Remove Program in control panel, only the files declare in [ConvertZ.del] get deleted. The 2 shortcut and folder created during install remain. That's the 50% portion, so can anybody advice me what to add in my INF so that everything created during install can be remove when uninstall? This is what I do to obtain the final silent install package: 1. Create a folder name "MAKING". 2. Copy all the files defined in [Core.Copy] section in the INF from installed dir to this "MAKING" folder. 3. Create a batch file MioConvertZ802.cmd. cmdow @ /HID @echo off rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 ./MioConvertZ802.inf 4. 7-zip all the files defined in [Core.Copy] section in the INF + MioConvertZ802.inf + MioConvertZ802.cmd to get MioConvertZ802.7z. 5. Create MioConvertZ802.txt (UTF-8). ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="MioConvertZ802.cmd" ;!@InstallEnd@! 6. Copy 7-zip SFX module to this "MAKING" folder. 7. Create the final self-extract/install package with the following command: copy /b 7zs.sfx + MioConvertZ802.txt + MioConvertZ802.7z MioConvertZ802.exe

I don't know whether this is the correct thread for this post but I do have question regarding INF & SHORTCUTS. So here it goes: The INF below is use to install a program call ConvertZ. It copy all the files & create shortcuts without problem. But when uninstall, the shortcuts & install folder remain. So can you guys tell me what to add to my INF so the shortcuts & folder created can be remove when uninstall?
