IPropertySystem::UnregisterPropertySchema method

Informs the schema subsystem of the removal of a property description schema (.propdesc) file, using a file path to the .propdesc file on the local machine.

Syntax

HRESULT UnregisterPropertySchema(
  [in]  LPCWSTR pszPath
);

Parameters

pszPath [in]

Type: LPCWSTR

Pointer to the file path for the .propdesc file on the local machine.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

Returns one of the following values.

Remarks

Call this method when the file is being uninstalled from the machine. Typically, a setup application calls this method before or after uninstalling the .propdesc file. This method can be called after the file no longer exists.

Call IPropertySystem::RefreshPropertySchema in order for the newly-unregistered schema files to be unincorporated from the search index and the schema subsystem cache.

This method fails with E_ACCESSDENIED if the calling context does not have proper privileges, which include write access to the local machine. It is the caller's responsibility to obtain privileges via least-privileged user account (LUA) mechanisms.
