.EXE.
WiseScript Package Editor only
You can use a compiler variable to build two versions of an installation: a normal version
and a debug version with Display Message actions. You add the Display Message script
lines to your script to check the value of a variable or display other relevant information.
You then put this script inside a Compiler Variable If block that lets you customize your
installation .EXE at compile time. Each time you compile the installation, you are asked
whether to create a debug version. If you choose not to create a debug version, the
script actions you place inside the Compiler Variable If block are not included in the
installation .EXE
To build a debug version of an installation
1. Select Installation Expert > Compiler Variables page.
2. Click Add.
