hi,
How to remove the read only attributes of a folder/file which is installed by dynamic file linking?

Try this...

CODE

// Files copied from SETUPEXEDIR have their attributes set to
// read-only. These files must be modified to clear the read-only
// attribute.

// Get the first *.mmm file
svDir = INSTALLDIR + "Data\\";
svFileSpec = "*.mmm";
nvResult = FindAllFiles (svDir, svFileSpec, svMatchingFileName, RESET);

while(nvResult = 0)

// Clear the file's attributes.
SetFileInfo (svMatchingFileName, FILE_ATTRIBUTE, FILE_ATTR_NORMAL, "");

// Find the next matching file name.
nvResult = FindAllFiles(svDir, svFileSpec, svMatchingFileName, CONTINUE);
endwhile;

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the code snippet. This piece of code works like a charm.

I have another query.
I am unable to change a virtual directory on upgrading my installation.
The problem is that after upgrade, the virtual directory should point to a different folder.
I have tried to delete the virtual directory through some VC++ code, before the file copy for the upgrade happens.But this is not successful.
Any light in this matter will be extremely helpful.

Regards,
Vishal
