WiseScript Package Editor is an application development tool for creating and editing
installation packages based on the WiseScript™ scripting language.
1. Select Start menu > Programs > Symantec > Wise Installation Studio > WiseScript
Package Editor.
2. Select File menu > New.
The New Installation File dialog box appears.
3. Select one of the following:
Empty Project
Create an installation project file based on the Empty Project.wse installation
template. It contains a default script in which the basic elements of an
installation are already configured.
Project files do not store the files you add to an installation but the paths to the
files. If you move the source files, the paths break.
For information on how to fix broken paths, see
page 28.
Blank Script
Build an installation or custom .EXE entirely in Script Editor. If you select this,
some pages in Installation Expert are not available.

The installation opens, and you can edit it in Installation Expert or Script Editor.
