Windows 7 & deleteFile...

Post by glops »

Hi, have a new PC Windows 7...
tried some of my programs with the compiler and have an issue

My program deletes some temporary files from a directory before to create new ones...
Same version running on XP is ok.
DeleteFile( ) on Win 7 ...seems to not delete the files...

Am I the only one who have this problem ?

Win7 is more security conscious than WinXP, so it might be that your files need to be stored in a different location - if they are in any of the system folders, program files etc, then there could be read/write/delete issues depending on the system set-up.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.
