RE: Re[5]: setup.exe and inuse files for X
One thing I'm not clear on - are both calls -required-? -Original Message- From: Pavel Tsekov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 8:52 PM To: Robert Collins Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re[5]: setup.exe and inuse files for X Ok, I've tested it on my WinXP Home on NTFS, FAT and FAT32. The following snippet removes the file no matter the filesystem (the Get/SetFileAttributes is required for FAT/FAT32 only): HANDLE hFile; DWORD dwAttr = GetFileAttributes (test.dat); SetFileAttributes (test.dat, dwAttr ~FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY); hFile = CreateFile (test.dat, DELETE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE, NULL); CloseHandle (hFile); RC Does this work on FAT too? PT I don't know - its not clear from the documentation. Someone has to PT test it on FAT. However this combined with an an call to PT SetFileAttributes () before it should be sufficient.
