WiseScript Package Editor Reference
Application Path
Specify the full path of the application executable to run.
Command Options
Enter any command-line options to apply to the executable. Refer to the source
application's documentation for applicable command-line options.
2. Click Execute, which starts the source application.
3. In the source application, use all possible features except printing. If you are
watching an installation, run the installation through to completion.
Use as many of the application's features as possible to ensure that files used by
rarely-used features are recorded. Do not use the application to print, because
printing accesses Windows operating system and printer-specific files.
WiseScript Package Editor only
The Import Visual Basic Project tool lets you import a Visual Basic 5 or 6 project file into
an installation file. You specify information about the project, and the tool extracts
information, such as source file paths, and integrates it into a new or existing
installation.
This tool only supports projects of file type .VBP. Only ActiveX EXE, Standard EXE,
and ActiveX DLL project types are supported.
Verify that the necessary files and dependency files required by the VB application
are available.
Verify that the files that require self-registration are marked to self-register. To
check this, view the properties of the file, and if the version section contains Ole Self
Register, then the file must be self-registered. A file might fail self-registration
because it doesn't need to be registered, because it's missing a dependent file,
because it might require regsvr.exe to be run manually, or because it is corrupt.
There is no link between a VB 5 or 6 project or solution and the installation you
create for the project or solution. If your solution or project is updated with new
files, you must make those changes in the installation manually.
This tool is not designed to set up a remote automation or a DCOM™ server
automatically.
Note
Files that you specify in System .DLLs to Exclude in Preferences are ignored.
