WiseScript Package Editor Reference
Maximum Compression
Mark this to make the compiled installation file as small as possible. Because it
takes longer to compile with maximum compression, disable this during
development.
Slow Installation Speed
Mark this to slow down the installation on the destination computer. Do this when
you have a short installation to ensure that your billboard graphics are displayed.
Use Internal 3D Effects
This option is unavailable because it is no longer used.
No Reboot Message During Silent Installs
Normally, when an installation runs silently, it displays a message that the system
must be restarted after installation. Mark this to suppress the warning message and
to restart the system without warning. You can run an installation silently by
running it from the command line and adding a /s option.
Create Windows Me System Restore Snapshots
Mark this to have the installation add system snapshot entries to the Windows
Millennium (Me) System Restore utility. This lets end users restore their system to
the state it was in before the application's installation. The installation takes longer
to perform when this is marked. This works only if you enable it in the Windows Me
operating system.
Replace In-Use Files
Mark this to have the installation force the replacement of in-use files by performing
a restart of the system. Otherwise, the end user is notified that the installation
cannot be completed and the installation aborts.
Convert CD-ROM to Floppy
When creating a CD-based installation, you can use the Copy Local Files script
action to copy files from the CD to the end user's hard disk, rather than embedding
these files in the installation .EXE. Mark this to have these files included in the
installation .EXE so the installation can be placed on floppy disk(s). (You can exclude
individual Copy Local Files script actions from conversion by marking their Don't
Convert To Floppy check box.
See Copy Local File(s)
Beep on New Disk Prompt
Mark this to cause the compiled installation to beep when requesting a new disk.
ZIP Compatible
Mark this to make the compiled installation compatible with the ZIP archive format.
If you make the installation ZIP compatible, end users can extract files from it using
any unzip utility, such as WinZip. They must open the installation by selecting File
menu > Open in the ZIP utility. Double-clicking the installation starts it normally.
Network Installation
Mark this if you are creating a network installation and want to reduce network
traffic. If this is marked, a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is performed on existing
files. If the file exists and is identical to the new installation file, the file is not copied
down, reducing traffic. However, because CRC checks are time-intensive, this can
slow down the installation, so limit this option to installations that are performed
without end user intervention.
