WiseScript Editor Reference
You can set command-line options when you run WiseScript Editor, the installation
executable, and the uninstaller executable. These are especially useful for running an
installation as part of a batch file or other automated installation system.
If you compile from the command line, compile errors generate return codes. To see the
error message associated with the return code, run the compile directly from WiseScript
Editor. When compile errors occur, a dialog box appears during compile with a specific
error message.
You can apply the following command-line options to the WiseScript Editor executable
file, Wise32.exe. Command-line options let you compile as well as set properties.
/c file.wse
/c /s file.wse
/r
/u
/c /d_VAR_=value
/c /d=file.txt
Examples:
Compiling a .WSE file while defining a compiler variable named _PATH_:
"product_installation_directory\Wise32.exe" /d_PATH_=C:\Test /c
"C:\Development\Application.wse"
Compiling a .WSE file while setting compiler variables defined in a text file named
Compile.txt:
"product_installation_directory\Wise32.exe" /c /d=C:\Development\Compile.txt
"C:\Development\Application.wse"
