About WiseScript Actions
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.
