Scripting

What is it with these posts?!?

This is basic stuff:. Please don't be lazy. There must be 100,000 examples downloadable from the web.

Deleting folder and all subfolders
[font="courier new"]Set FSObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FolderName="c:\temp"
FSObj.DeleteFolder FolderName, True
[font="courier new"]Set FSObj = Nothing


To delete a single property "property_to_delete" and its value:
[font="courier new"]Set WSHShellObj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
regKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ApplSrvTmp\property_to_delete"
WSHShellObj.RegDelete regKey
[font="courier new"]Set [font="courier new"]WSHShellObj[font="courier new"] = Nothing

To delete a single key:
[font="courier new"]Set WSHShellObj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
regKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ApplSrvTmp\key_to_delete\"
WSHShellObj.RegDelete regKey
[font="courier new"]Set [font="courier new"]WSHShellObj[font="courier new"] = Nothing

I have held my tongue thus far, but I tend to agree with you. It really doesn't pertain to packaging, and there are a bajillion examples on the web.

I think some of these folks want their scripts written for them.

I won't do that for free, but my consulting rate is available on request! (occasionally I might post a code snippet to help someone if I have time, and to get the practice, but that's it....and it's gotta be something more interesting than "how do I delete a folder?"....there's a not so fine line between contributing to the scripting community and doing someone's work for them)

I moved this to the correct forum as it doesn't seem to relate to packaging as Owen (aogilmor) already mentioned.
Please try to post to the related forum and use the search function in the future as there are tons of similar and useful scripts already posted at the different forums.
