Removing Documents and Settings\$user$\myprogram

who would you go about removing
Documents and Settings\$user$\avidemux?

could you modify this script?

SetOriginalKeyBack:
		CopyFiles /SILENT "$APPDATA\avidemux\*.*" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY"
		IfFileExists "$APPDATA\Avidemux-backupbyavidemuxportable" +1 
		Rename "$APPDATA\Avidemux-backupbyavidemuxportable" "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY"
		RMDIR /r "$APPDATA\Avidemux"
		Goto TheEnd

Thanks in Advance,
~Alpha1

You're using the wrong var

you have to use $%USERPROFILE%

Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.

r u sure

I think the way u put userprofile it wont work, I think it should only be USERPROFILE, without the % and the $,

Well

I believe %USERPROFILE% is the Windows standard variable, and $PROFILE is what NSIS uses.

Hold on....

What happens if you encounter a local pre-existing installed version...

Will that be backed up correct?
