Command option flags

[Magnum]

I can't find any info regarding the command option flags.

VOID RemoveFile(LPSTR szFullPathSrc, INT cmo);

RemoveFile deletes the specified file.

Arguments

szFullPathSrc

Specifies the full path of the file you want to delete.

cmo

Specifies the command option flag. You can use cmoVital, cmoForce, or cmoNone.

The RemoveDirectory function deletes an existing empty directory.

BOOL RemoveDirectory(

    LPCTSTR lpPathName    // address of directory to remove 
   );

The DeleteFile function deletes an existing file.

BOOL DeleteFile(

    LPCTSTR lpFileName    // pointer to name of file to delete 
   );

Isn't this related to SETUPAPI and MSI?

I seem to think that VITAL means the file has been marked/tracked as required for operation (and would otherwise resist deletion), and FORCE means the file will be deleted (ie overcoming read-only, or in use)

I think RemoveFile has been abandoned or no longer supported.

I get an undefined symbol when I try to compile it.

To reiterate, this is part of SETUPAPI.INC used in Microsoft's scripted setup, it was not a Win32 API function as far as I'm aware. It probably migrated into MSI, but I haven't messed with any of that stuff in ages.
