Uninstall Log Not Being Overwritten

[Darrel Witham]

V6.9.2309
I have the following function in my script:
"Create Installation Log "[UNINSTALL LOG]" [Overwrite Existing Uninstall Application]"

I run the script 2 times and both installs are in the uninstall log file.

What am I doing wrong?

Darrel,

It does what it say <g> It overwrites an existing uninstall APPLICATION, not the LOG ;-) To remove an existing uninstall .log, use the Delete File(s) script function.

Does this help?

I do issue a delete statement (line 157 in attached png) but the uninstall log file is NOT deleted. Should I move the delete statements?

Darrel,

If you try to delete the uninstall .log in Line 157 then it fails because the uninstall .log is still open and Windows does not allow to remove it (DeleteFile API fails).

Remove the .log in, say, Line 143.

Does this help?

That did it - thanks.
