WiseScript Actions

Edit INI File

This action edits an .INI file on the destination computer. To edit SYSTEM.INI, use the

Add to SYSTEM.INI action instead.

When a WiseScript is called by a Windows Installer installation, you also can edit an .INI

file 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

repair such changes. See Uninstalling Changes Made by a WiseScript in the Windows

Installer Editor Help.
