The SetupRemoveFileLogEntry function removes an entry or section from a file log.

Syntax

WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupRemoveFileLogEntryW(

  [in] PCWSTR     LogSectionName,
  [in] PCWSTR     TargetFilename
);

Parameters

[in] FileLogHandle

Handle to the file log as returned by SetupInitializeFileLog. The caller must not have passed SPFILELOG_QUERYONLY when the log file was initialized.

[in] LogSectionName

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name for a logical grouping of names within the log file. Required for non-system logs. Otherwise, LogSectionName may be NULL.

[in] TargetFilename

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the file as it exists on the target. This name should be in whatever format is meaningful to the caller. If NULL, the section specified by LogSectionName is removed. The main section cannot be removed.

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

Note

The setupapi.h header defines SetupRemoveFileLogEntry as an alias that 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 is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
