custom action.
WiseScript Package Editor
WiseScript Package Editor is an application development tool for creating and editing
installation packages based on the WiseScript™ scripting language.
1. In Wise Package Studio, do one of the following:
On the Projects tab, click the Run link to the right of the task or tool associated
with WiseScript Package Editor. The installation associated with the current
project might open by default. This tool might open to a different view based on
command-line options defined in Process Templates Setup.
On the Tools tab, double-click WiseScript Package Editor.
2. Select File menu > New.
The New Installation File dialog box appears.
3. Select one of the following:
Empty Project
Create an installation project file based on the Empty Project.wse installation
template. It contains a default script in which the basic elements of an
installation are already configured.
Project files do not store the files you add to an installation but the paths to the
files. If you move the source files, the paths break. (For information on how to
fix broken paths, see
Blank Script
Build an installation or custom .EXE entirely in Script Editor. If you select this,
some pages in Installation Expert are not available.
See Switching Between Installation Expert and Script Editor

The installation opens, and you can edit it in Installation Expert or Script Editor.
