Include Script
This action adds an additional script to the current installation script. During compile,
the include script is copied into the calling script at the location of the Include Script
action, resulting in a combination of the scripts.
Include scripts can save time because you can develop a library of WiseScripts that
perform specific functions, like subroutines. You can re-use include scripts and share
them with colleagues. They typically contain just a few lines of code, such as calling an
.EXE or displaying a particular dialog box. Include scripts can be any size with the
limitation that the calling script plus include scripts cannot be more than 32,000 lines.
Include scripts are displayed in tabs at the bottom of the script window.
To make an include script, create a new file and select Blank Script. Otherwise the
include script contains the default script, which is designed to perform an installation.
The combined script would then have two wizard loops, two of every dialog box, and so
on. Only the script is inserted into the calling script.
Any Compiler variables that are defined on the Compiler Variables page are ignored.

z Pathname
Specify the path of the script. It should be a .WSE file on your computer, not the
destination computer. Because the main script and include scripts are combined
during compile, not run time, do not use a run-time variable in Pathname. You can,
however, use a compiler variable.
