Creating and Editing Installation Templates

WiseScript Package Editor Reference
WiseScript Package Editor only
When you create a new installation, it gets its configuration from a template file.
Templates contain logical defaults and commonly used settings. Some template files are
predefined and appear when you create a new installation. You also can create your own
templates.
Examples:
If all your installations have the same system configuration requirements and
document file extensions, you can create a template with these changes
preconfigured.
If your installations require a language that is not pre-translated, you can add
translated custom dialog boxes to a template to make the dialog box translations
available to future installations.
Warning
Editing predefined templates is not recommended, because they might be overwritten
during upgrades. Instead, save customized templates with different names, or make
copies of the predefined templates and edit the copies.

Templates are stored in the WiseScript Editor\Template subdirectory of this product's
