Post Deleting files from a CD - HELP!
Does anyone know how to delete read-only files from a CD?
It's re-writable but when i try to write something over it, it gives me an error... So i want to know how to use VB and delete it!

I've tried this:
Quote:
Private Sub Command1_Click ()
Kill "D:\Monster.exe"
End Sub
But then it comes up with this error message:


I've also tried RmDir "D:\Monster.exe"
But it says that the folder can't be found...

Anyone help?

Well you can't do that in Visual Basic with that command for sure! a CD is ROM, but as this is re-writable there is a special procedure to delete files from a CD, you need to use Nero or something like that, You cannot delete it with normal API commands or with the Kill command. I think it is hard (if possible) to make this with VB.

You are welcome. I am not saying that it is not possible in VB, but there are special procedures for sure, perhaps this project would even be too big for a professional Vb programmer, It would need a whole team to develop such an application (Like Nero) and it might not even be possible..

It's important to note that it isn't possible to delete individual files from a CD anyway, regardless of whether you're programming them or not. Even if rewritable, CDs are designed to be completely rewritten with other data, unless formatted with software like Sonic's DLA or Nero's InCD.
