WiseScript Editor Reference 89
WiseScript Actions
z Pathname
Use this field only for operations that retrieve information on files or directories.
Specify the full path of the file or directory to retrieve information from. You can use
variables (example: %MAINDIR%\Readme.txt). You also can enter a hardcoded
path (example: C:\Program Files\File.exe) but it is not recommended.
The sample script Autoplay.wse uses this action. For details on sample scripts, see
ScriptHelp.htm in the Samples subdirectory of this product’s installation directory.
Get Temporary Filename
This action generates a unique, temporary file name and stores it in a variable. Use the
temporary name when you need to install a file to the Windows Temp directory
(%TEMP%). Files that you create using this file name are deleted when the installation
finishes. Example: Use this to install a .DLL that is called during installation, and is then
no longer needed.
To complete the dialog box
z Variable
Specify a variable in which to store the temporary file name. Only a file name is
generated. To refer to this file, prefix it with the %TEMP% variable extension.
Example: If the variable is %HELPFILE%, the full path of the file would be
%TEMP%\%HELPFILE%.
Get Windows Installer Property
This action gets the value of a Windows Installer property in the currently running
Windows Installer installation and puts it into a WiseScript variable. Use this action only
in WiseScripts that are called from a Windows Installer installation.
To complete the dialog box
z Dest. Variable
Select or enter a variable to store the value of a Windows Installer property.
z Property Name
Enter the name of the Windows Installer property in the currently running Windows
Installer installation.

Halt Compilation
This action immediately stops compilation of the script. It must be placed between
Compiler Variable If and Compiler Variable End statements or the script will never
compile. Use this to ensure that conditions are met before compiling.
