Guidelines for Custom Action Conditions
The Remark action lets you put comments in sequences to document what is happening
in the script.
In Remark, type the comment. To place a blank line in the sequence, add a Remark
action, but leave Remark blank.
This custom action runs a WiseScript .EXE that already resides on the destination
computer.
If you use both WiseScript and Windows Installer technology, you can integrate them
with this custom action. Use this to leverage past WiseScripts or to gain access to
unique WiseScript technology.
Tips
In the WiseScript, use special script actions—Get Windows Installer Property, Set
Windows Installer Property, and Evaluate Windows Installer Condition—to
communicate between the Windows Installer installation and the WiseScript. For
details, see the WiseScript documentation.
If the WiseScript being called uses a Set Windows Installer Property action, place
this custom action in the User Interface or Execute Immediate sequence.
Usage
Double-click the custom action and complete the Details tab:
Custom Action Name
Enter a unique name that begins with a letter or underscore. It can contain numbers
and periods. It must not match the name of any Windows Installer standard action.
See Standard Actions Reference in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
WiseScript .EXE File
Specify an executable file on the destination computer that was compiled in a
WiseScript editing tool. You must type a path to the file using a predefined directory
name, such as [CommonFilesFolder], to specify the location on the destination
computer. A trailing slash after a predefined directory name is not necessary.
Example: [INSTALLDIR]Directory\Setup.exe.
Options button
This is unavailable for this custom action.
Command Line
(Optional) Enter the command-line options to send to the .EXE. Example: Enter /s
to make the WiseScript run silently. For a list of valid command-line options, see the
WiseScript documentation.
