Hi,
Is it possible to use a MSI code variable in a VBScript?
If this is possible how should I handle this?
Kind regards,
Marko

Dear Marko,
how do you integrate the VB script with your project?
If it is an external file that you execute from the setup, you could pass an IA Variable to it as you do from command line.

Hi Francesco,
The VBscript is integrated within the project as a support file.

... you could pass an IA Variable to it as command line parameter (using the RUN PROGRAM command).

Hi Francesco,
Thank you for your reply.
Do you have an example how I could do this in MSI-code. I will try it by myself as well but it would be nice to see an example.

Dear Marko,
it really simple ...
Code: Select all
Set Variable MYVAR to 1234
Run Program $SUPPORTDIR$\myscript.vbs $MYVAR$ (WAIT)
The above example excutes the vbscript "myscript.vbs" (from SupportDir at runtime ) and pass an IA Variable to it as command line parameter.
The same code snippet as IA clipboard format;
Code: Select all
~InstallAware Clipboard Data~
~Run Program~
~{CDF79D0B-FAF1-4374-8DA4-382F32ADBFFE}~
~$SUPPORTDIR$\myscript.vbs~
~TRUE~
~$MYVAR$~
~TRUE~
~~
~Set Variable~
~{8E58E9BD-05BB-432E-A15B-70FA32EFBFE1}~
~MYVAR$MYAH$MYAH$FALSE~
~1234~
Hope this helps you.
