I need to delete directories containing readonly files. I am using the DeleteDir function. But it fails and it leaves out the files contained in the directory.

Could anyone plz propose a solution?

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Function: DeleteDirectory
// Purpose: Deletes a directory even if it has readonly files
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
function DeleteDirectory(directory)
STRING fileName;
begin
while (FindFile(directory, "*.*", fileName) = 0) //Finds all files in a directory
SetFileInfo(directory ^ fileName, FILE_ATTRIBUTE, FILE_ATTR_NORMAL, ""); //resets files attributes to NORMAL
DeleteFile(directory ^ fileName); //Delete File
endwhile;
DeleteDir(directory, ALLCONTENTS);
end;

You are writing InstallScript and posting ni Platform SDK section ??

by-the-way, in Platform SDK your can use RemoveDirectory/DeleteFolder.
