Tsunami Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I think it's better to use RD (remove directory).RD %systemdrive%\install /S /QAlso, I'm not sure if you can use it from that batch file, since that batch file is probably in the folder you're trying to delete. If it doesn't work, you can try to add it to the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce). Then it will run on next logon.

prathapml Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 It depends on what method you use to install.If you use batch-files, then put the command as the last one (just before the EXIT) command. If you used the MSFN guide to make this, then probably the last part of start.cmd should look like this:RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\InstallEXIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koden Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 I think I will use the reg way to do it.But where do i put the codeRD %systemdrive%\install /S /QIn my reg tweak folder ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Add this to a reg file:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]"Cleanup"="cmd.exe /C RD %systemdrive%\install /S /Q"And then make sure you import it to the registry somewhere. You can also use this code from a batch file:REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /V Cleanup /D "cmd.exe /C RD %systemdrive%\install /S /Q"I believe that should work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Well, the code looks right to me. If the code worked, you should see a command window for a brief moment after you logon. Also, you can make sure that the value was really imported by opening regedit and navigating to the key. Note that if the command was imported and executed, the value is probably gone (you will have to import the reg file again just to see if the value gets added to the registry).@kenedy: you got a point there, forgot to mention that you might have to use 2 slashes.Good luck, I'll be back in about 2 hours.
