The following scripts are listed by the order in which they execute within the package:
1) Pre-Script - Used to test for a machine condition or shutdown a service. For example you
can stop the package rollout in the pre-script by using the SetReturnCode in the
PLCCAgent script object.
2) Command Line Script - Used to launch executables. The format is the same as a
standard .cmd or .bat file.
3) Post-Script - Used for any clean-up operations such as the deletion of files, starting
services, or running an installed file.
A software package can have a maximum of one of each type of script. When all three
scripts are present, they will be executed in the order listed above.
