Wait until file doesn't exist

Is there an easy way to wait until a file does no longer exist? (It gets deleted by another process)

Currently the Wait Action doesn't provide a way to do that, but here is a simple script step that does what you are looking for (although not as efficiently).

We will consider adding this capability to the Wait Action in a future version of Visual Build Professional.

Thanks a lot, that helped alot. Now I wonder is there something similar that I could use for a file on an FTP server?

The file in question is very small so I guess an FTP get in a loop could do it.

Yes, if it's a small file, set up a loop to periodically retrieve it and exit the loop if that fails. See attached example.
