How to delete a specific file in Program Files

File.Delete(_PROGRAMFILES.."\\Microvirt\\MEmu\\config.ini", false, false, true, nil);

I want to delete only the config.ini

[Imagine Programming]

I believe that only an administrative account can delete files from Program Files. This means that your program should run with elevated privileges (i.e. run as administrator) to be able to do this.

I'm running it as an administrator

[herrin]

File.Delete(_ProgramFilesFolder.."\\Microvirt\\MEm u\\config.ini", false, false, true, nil );

how to rightly suggest IP run as administrator

[JUNINHO]

Thanks for helping me!

It worked, however I want him to delete the file that is in:
C:\Program Files\Microvirt\MEmu


But he is deleting in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microvirt\MEmu

You quoted Program Files in your TITLE and sample code

if System.Is64BitOS() then
local sPath ="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microvirt\\MEmu"
else
local sPath ="C:\\Program Files\\Microvirt\\MEmu"
end
sFile = File.DoesExist(sPath.."\\config.ini"};
if sFile then
File.Delete(sFile, false, false, true, nil );
end

Still gave error

[startup]

PF = Shell.GetFolder(SHF_PROGRAMFILES);
if File.DoesExist(PF.."\\config.ini") == true then
File.Delete(PF.."\\config.ini", false, false, false, nil);
end[/CODE]

[startup]

PF = Shell.GetFolder(SHF_PROGRAMFILES);
if File.DoesExist(PF.."\\config.ini") == true then
File.Delete(PF.."\\config.ini", false, false, false, nil);
end

[herrin]

if (System.Is64BitOS()) then
File.Delete("C:\\Program Files\\Microvirt\\MEmu\\config.ini", false, false, true, nil );
else
File.Delete("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microvirt\\MEmu\\config.ini", false, false, true, nil );
end
error = Application.GetLastError();
if (error ~= 0) then
Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
else
Dialog.Message("Info", "File has been delete", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
end

Thank you I did almost like you and it worked.


if (System.Is64BitOS()) then
File.Delete("C:\\Program Files\\Microvirt\\MEmu\\config.ini", false, false, true, nil );
File.Delete("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microvirt\\MEmu\\config.ini", false, false, true, nil);
else
end
error = Application.GetLastError();
if (error ~= 0) then
Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
else
Dialog.Message("Info", "File has been delete", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
end

your script makes no sense .....
to delete the 2 ini files you don't have to check the architecture of the O.S.
2 lines of code were enough.....
as already recommended by Ip and Colc you have to study .....

[JUNINHO]

I already studied! it makes sense yes, so much that i decided
