Delete 7Zip Archive

This command deletes files from inside virtually any archive type available today. InstallAware uses 7Zip data compression technology which provides superior data compression rates for files of all types. Using the Delete 7Zip Archive command, you may delete any number of files from an archive supported by 7Zip data compression technology, directly from within your setup.

Archive

Provide the full path to the archive to delete files from. InstallAware supports all archive types and all compression algorithms that are natively supported by 7Zip data compression technology.

Password

If the archive to delete files from has been protected with a password; enter that password here.

Files to Delete from Archive

Provide one or more files to delete from the archive. Wildcards may be used (such as *), however because the archive contents will be processed non-recursively, you may need to manually specify each folder inside the archive if you wish to delete all archive contents.

When providing more than one set of items to process, delimit each individual set with the pipe character (|). If any of the items to delete have spaces in their path names, enclose the entire path (including trailing wildcards) inside double-quote characters (").

Return Success State in Variable

If you enter a variable name into this field, the variable will receive the result of the deletion operation. If the deletion completes successfully, the variable holds SUCCESS. If the deletion fails with an error, the variable holds a textual description of the error that occured.

 Notes

• Be sure to switch to the full compression engine before compiling your setup project when you are invoking this command.
