WiseScript Actions
To complete the dialog box
z Pathname
Enter the directory path to create. Start the path with a variable (example:
%MAINDIR%).
Create Directory in SVS Layer
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
z 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 Create SVS Layer on
page 65 and Find SVS Layer GUID on page 84.
z 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 161.
z 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.

Create Service
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.
z Service Name
Enter the internal service name, which is used in the registry.
