Note
This documentation covers both WiseScript Package Editor and WiseScript Editor.
WiseScript Editor contains the same scripting interface as WiseScript Package Editor, but
it does not contain the Installation Expert interface or other installation development
tools. Therefore, some of the information in this document does not apply to WiseScript
Editor.
WiseScript Package Editor only
As you work on an installation, paths to files in the installation can become note valid if
you:
Move files that are part of the installation to a new directory on your computer or
network.
Move the installation file itself from your computer to another computer.
Use relative paths and then move the installation file.
Rename a directory.
If the paths are not valid, then during compile, error messages warn that files cannot be
opened. Rather than adding the files again, you can specify the new source directories
for these files.
1. Select Edit menu > Source Directories.
The Change Source Directories dialog box appears and lists all the directories
referenced in the script.
2. Select a directory in the list.
It appears in the New Pathname field.
3. Edit the path so it points to the new location of the files.
