Am having a batch file used to update certain files.
However when i try to delete a file from a specified folder i am getting error “Invalid syntax, directory”.
The command is below
del /Q %INSTDIR%\xyz.dll
The %INSTDIR% is taken from registry and is correctly processing any copy commands. But am getting error for del command. Please help
Try this:
Most likely %INSTDIR% has spaces in it sometimes and thus the failure. You must place double quotes around long file/folder names.
