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.

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.

Code Select

DECLARE FUNCTION YnrcRemoveFile LIB "msinsstf.dll" (szFullPathSrc$, cmo%) AS INTEGER

DECLARE SUB RemoveFile (szFullPathSrc$, cmo%)

Code Select

SUB RemoveFile (szFullPathSrc$, cmo%) STATIC
'$ifdef DEBUG
    if FValidFATPath(szFullPathSrc$) = 0 then
        BadArgErr 1, "RemoveFile", szFullPathSrc$+", "+STR$(cmo%)
    end if
'$endif ''DEBUG
    IF  YnrcRemoveFile(szFullPathSrc$, cmo%) = ynrcNo THEN
'$ifdef DEBUG
        StfApiErr saeFail, "RemoveFile", szFullPathSrc$+", "+STR$(cmo%)
'$endif ''DEBUG
        ERROR STFERR
    END IF
END SUB
