The WiseScript™ scripting language contains script actions that let you perform various
installation-related tasks. The script actions are fully coded; all you do is enter
parameters for the action. This section describes the function and usage of each action.
All possible WiseScript actions are available in all WiseScript-based editors. This lets you
open any WiseScript in any WiseScript-based editor without errors. However, a
WiseScript will run only in an environment that supports all the actions in the script.
Example: The "Get Windows Installer Property" action will not work in a script that runs
outside a Windows Installer installation.

Add Directory to PATH on page 34
This action adds a directory to the PATH environment variable, as set in Autoexec.bat.
The directory is appended to every occurrence of the SET PATH statement that does not
already contain it. A SET PATH statement is added if none exists. The system restarts at
the end of installation so that the new PATH takes effect.
To complete the dialog box
Directory to Add to PATH
Enter the directory to be added to PATH (example: enter %MAINDIR%).
Location of New Directory
Select to add to the beginning or end of the PATH.
Path Selection
Some destination computers have several PATH variables. Use this list to add the
directory to all PATH variables.
