Deleting Dependencies

I am using a script to install some software that requires some dependencies using scripts. I have accomplished the install process. I would rather not leave the files on the workstations (I like to keep things clean). I have not found a good way to remove the dependencies after the process has finished. There does not seem to be an obvious way.

The only thing I have thought of is some type of batch file within a script that runs at a later time after the 1st script (in order to prevent it from running to soon and interrupting the install).

Does anyone have other suggestions on something I have missed?

Thanks

I would most likely run a batch file with the follwing command:

del *.* /F /S /Q
rd "%~dp0" /S /Q

that should delete all files and dirs and sub dirs.



but as dchristian said, only if it is completed =)

hfg,

One thing that you may want to do is delete $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR).

You can do this as part of your script as long as you can verify that the script has completed.

Hope this helps.

Perfect! Thanks. I've never seen this %~dp0 option before!
