[[How To] INF Uninstall Template]

So, a little bump/help? How I delete directory?

Using

[DestinationDirs]

files.del.ie = 16422,Internet Explorer

[files.del.ie]

11,,iexplore.exe, 1

11,,hmmapi.dll, 1

Is possible to delete the files inside of the Internet Explorer dir, however not dirs and not the WHOLE IE directory as I very much want to do so.

When I add this:

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 16422\Internet Explorer

...it does not work as well. Help?

PS: rundll32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 C:\Program files\Internet Explorer

from commandline it does delete the Internet Explorer dir, even with files inside. Same doest NOT do the shorter version:

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 16422\Internet Explorer

...probably because there is a difference between commandline and commands inside of the inf file... Both versions also does not work at all inside of the inf file

Not even using it like this:

[Dir.Delete]

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 C:\Program files\Internet Explorer

[Weird looking devices]

Of course I rather ask on more places and then come back with more info!

Well, fist at all, to see all these devices, you have to use the registry tweak:

REGEDIT4

;show all the devices in the hardware table
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES"=dword:00000001

And then reboot + choose in the menu again show all devices. Then you can see these.

And true, I had a mallware infection when I was running IE. Not anymore, but some stuff can remain there.

ATICDSDr - removed, no ill effects

atidgllk - removed, no ill effects (I do overclock, but I have nVidia card (ATI mobo chipset tough) and mobo I overclock in bios)

Beep - used, could this be removed for good somehow? Is not that the "beep" speaker anyway? We see if it come back

BOPOMAV - removed, no ill effects

c34nb4c5 - removed, no ill effects (probably related to PunkBuster)

e259q4c6 - removed, no ill effects (probably related to PunkBuster)

Fs_Rec - removed, but it keep comming back (should be File System recognizer)

NetGroup Packet Filter Driver - part of WinPcap - installed for Etheral sniffer, removed

Parallel - removed, but it keep comming back (parallel port disabled in bios)

YQZBNWOGRK - removed, no ill effects

True. Fixed. No difference, tough. Not sure where and when I caused this bug, tough.

Any chances the deleting directory will work?

Well, it does not work. Included the file, can you tell me, what I doing wrong?

So, something in the % mean that this is a variable, defined elsewhere. So when I define it just in the place, then it is not need, okay. That is why I had there the add %. The flag I copy directly from your example. And should not be the Internet Explorer path in commas? It does contain a space, so I thought...

And what the 8 at the end does mean?

In the file I include are deleting files made this way:

[DefaultInstall]

DelFiles = files.del.sys

[DestinationDirs]

files.del.sys = 11

[files.del.sys]

actxprxy.dll, 1

asctrls.ocx,,,1

cdfview.dll,,,1

...etc...

But that only delete already known files and files in the defined directory too. When I want to remove whole dir wih bunch of files, well, that is a problem. How can do it, I don't know.

But I would love to be able automatize my cleaning up of windows 2000 SP4

uninstall_IE.zip

[Weird looking devices]

I do have some weird looking non P&P devices in my Device Manager.

Anyone got a clue what the hell they are?

I also have there other suspicious drivers that does not support P&P, and their names are:

ATICDSDr

atidgllk

Beep - used, could this be removed for good somehow?

BOPOMAV

c34nb4c5

DirectX DLL register

e259q4c6

Fs_Rec

rvbedit (I killed this one already)

SSDefrag (I killed this one already)

NetGroup Packet Filter Driver

Parallel - used, could this be removed for good somehow?

YQZBNWOGRK (I killed this one already)

Can I remove/uninstall few of them?

Thanks for this nice example.

However I'm still not entierly clear on how to insert a exactly specified directory there. For example working on the IE uninstall ini file, at the very end I would like something like that:

; delete whole IE directory
[files.del.ie]
rundll32.exe advpack.dll,DelNodeRunDLL32 %16422%\%"Internet Explorer"%,<flag>

But it does not work. Could be the commas not welcome there?
