Tutorials or instructional videos

Hi.

I am new to installaware. Have used WISE before.

What would be the best place to look for something that explains the "flow" on a non-native installation script. Tutorial, videos, helps, etc.

I am confused on how the script executes as it relates to other actions... like file copy, etc..

With my old WISE scripts everything was serial... these do not act in the same fashion.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

George

Dear George,

I suggest you to have a look at our White-papers publications (http://www.installaware.com/publications-whitepapers.htm).

In particular the document "MSIcode Scripting Technology for Windows Installer" describes "MSIcode script logic".

InstallAware script technology is very similar to WISE script and all most the commands work in a very similar way as you used to do with WISE.
The difference stays with the "Window Installer" commands (PURPLE COMMANDS). With an installer based on "Windows Installer", these command are not executed immediately, but deferred to "Apply Install" execution (http://www.installaware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4338).
