The InstallAware
script contains a wide variety of scripting commands that
perform literally all installation related tasks - efficiently
and simply. Below is a small selection of some of the things
that you can do with the InstallAware
script:
- Install files, create registry entries, shortcuts, file
types
- Install and control services, ODBC drivers, data sources
- Configure and control IIS websites and virtual folders
- Run SQL scripts on MS SQL, My SQL, and Oracle databases
- Obtain system, domain, account and user information
- Reboot the computer, and automatically resume setup
- Install application runtimes and other dependencies
- Display custom dialogs and obtain user input
- Create and delete network shares on file servers
- Set access control lists on a variety of system objects
- Install .NET assemblies, generate native images
- Process environment variables, work with INI files
- Register libraries, write to and read from text files
Of course, if you have needs that are not
addressed using the built in scripting functions, you can
always author your own plug-ins, which have full access to
the setup script and build process; or you can also call arbitrary
functions located inside DLL libraries. This places the power
of virtually the entire Windows API in your hands when developing
InstallAware installations.
