Pathname
Enter the directory path to create. Start the path with a variable (example:
%MAINDIR%).
This SVS script action creates a directory in a virtual software layer. You can create a
directory in an existing layer or in the layer that the WiseScript creates. The directory is
added to the read-only sublayer.
Note
Use this action on a deactivated SVS layer only.
To complete the dialog box
Layer GUID
Enter the layer's GUID (globally unique identifier) or a variable that represents the
layer's GUID. If you enter the layer's GUID, do not include the { } brackets.
For information on creating a variable for a layer's GUID, see
page 66 and Find SVS Layer GUID
Path to create
Enter the full path of the directory to create. You can use SVS variables or
WiseScript variables that resolve to a valid SVS path.
See SVS Variables on page 162.
Return variable
(Optional.) Enter a name for the return variable. When this script action runs
successfully, either 0 or 1 is placed in this variable.

About SVS Script Actions
This action installs a Windows service on operating systems where they are supported.
When a WiseScript is called by a Windows Installer installation, you also can create a
service on the Features or Components tabs of Setup Editor in Windows Installer Editor.
Note
When a WiseScript is called by a Windows Installer installation, the Windows Installer
installation does not recognize changes that the WiseScript makes to the destination
computer and will not uninstall them. Therefore, you must provide a way to uninstall or
repair such changes. See Uninstalling Changes Made by a WiseScript in the Windows
Installer Editor Help.
Service Name
Enter the internal service name, which is used in the registry.
