About Troubleshooting a WiseScript
Use the following features to troubleshoot a WiseScript:
Note
This documentation covers both WiseScript Package Editor and WiseScript Editor.
WiseScript Editor contains the same scripting interface as WiseScript Package Editor, but
it does not contain the Installation Expert interface or other installation development
tools. Therefore, some of the information in this document does not apply to WiseScript
Editor.
Using the Installation Log
The installation log is a text file that helps you debug your script. The log is the most
complete record of what the installation did. As your script runs on the destination
computer, each action it performs is logged in Install.log. This includes: failures of
actions to execute, the reasons for the failure, and what changes on your system.
Installation log Lets you determine what happens during the installation,
including what fails.
See Using the Installation Log on page 243.
Built-in debugger Lets you step through your script to make sure it functions
properly or run to a breakpoint to view the script and the
values of variables.
See Using the Debug Commands on page 106.
Compiler variables Let you build a debug version of your installation .EXE that
displays values of variables and other useful information
while it is executing. The compiler itself helps ensure
stability because it checks that all required information is
present before it builds an installation .EXE.
See Compiler Variables on page 44.
