SetupRemoveSectionFromDiskSpaceListA function (setupapi.h)
[This function is available for use in the operating systems indicated in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. SetupAPI should no longer be used for installing applications. Instead, use the Windows Installer for developing application installers. SetupAPI continues to be used for installing device drivers.]
The SetupRemoveSectionFromDiskSpaceList function removes the file delete or copy operations listed in a Copy Files section of an INF file from a disk-space list.
Syntax
WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupRemoveSectionFromDiskSpaceListA(
[in] HDSKSPC DiskSpace,
[in] HINF InfHandle,
[in] HINF ListInfHandle,
[in] PCSTR SectionName,
[in] UINT Operation,
[in] PVOID Reserved1,
[in] UINT Reserved2
);
Parameters
[in] DiskSpace
Handle to the disk-space list.
[in] InfHandle
Handle to an open INF file that contains the SourceDisksFiles section. If ListInfHandle is not specified, this INF file must also contain the section specified by SectionName.
[in] ListInfHandle
Optional handle to an open INF file that contains the section to remove from the disk-space list. Otherwise, InfHandle must contain the section specified by SectionName.
[in] SectionName
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the Copy Files or Delete Files section to remove from the disk-space list.
[in] Operation
File operation to remove from the list. This parameter can be one of the following values.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
|
A file delete operation. |
|
A file copy operation. |
[in] Reserved1
Must be zero.
[in] Reserved2
Must be zero.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The file operations removed by the SetupRemoveSectionFromDiskSpaceList function are typically those that have been added to the list by using the SetupAddSectionToDiskSpaceList function, though this is not a requirement. The SetupRemoveSectionFromDiskSpaceList function ignores files in the INF section that are not listed in the disk-space list.
This function requires a Windows INF file. Some older INF file formats may not be supported.
Note
The setupapi.h header defines SetupRemoveSectionFromDiskSpaceList as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
