DeleteFileList

Delete List of Files

Definition

Use this command to delete a list of files from specified directories.

This command works in the same way as the Delete command. However, you have more options for specifying the files you want to delete. This is necessary because complete file lists from different directories can be deleted. You can use wildcards in the same way as with DOS commands. If you want to include subdirectories you must use the Delete command.

Options

Delete also files that are in use
Also deletes files that are used in the Windows unattended mode. In this mode, the Installer automatically checks whether the files to be deleted are currently in use (and therefore cannot be deleted while Windows is running). The respective files are listed; Windows is automatically restarted and the files are deleted.

Disable file redirection on x64 computers
For reasons of compatibilty, Ivanti DSM maps file and registry access to the default storage location for 32 bit applications (provided that the storage location differs from that of 64-bit applications). File access: whenever a 32-bit application attempts to access %windir%\System32, the access is redirected to %windir%\SysWOW64. Registry commands: when accessing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE the calls are redirected to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. The x64-switch stops this redirection of file and registry accesses when running the script command on a x64 computer; the eScript command runs on the specified path. CallScript command: the script runs in a 64-bit process.
