Darin,
Thanks for the reply. This doesn't seem to be the issue. I only
attempt to delete some configuration files that I write, and do not
maintain handles for. Here's a javascript example that obtains a
nsIFile object using jslibs:
// code
try {
var fh = new File(name);
var file = fh.nsIFile;
file.remove( false );
} catch ( e ) { alert( "Delete File Error: " + e ); }
}
// end code
I do not open a handle to the file before attempting to delete. I am
certain that I have not opened any files before I run this, and I
continue to get a 3253927937 error on the Windows platform. Any ideas
are helpful. Thanks,
-- Kyle
