PathDelete

InstallShield 2018 » InstallScript Language Reference

The PathDelete function deletes a specific directory in the path buffer. You can specify the name of the directory or enter a fully qualified path.

This function has no relationship to the path statement in the Autoexec.bat file or the path environment variable. It acts only on the path buffer, which helps you build, modify, and manipulate search paths.

Tip • Call PathGet to get the contents of the path buffer. Call PathSet to set contents of the path buffer.
