Script

Postby davidgrudek » Mon Nov 10, 2014 3:21 pm

I know there is a way to use the installaware to create simple scripts just like wise script editor used to. I can not seem to see how to do this. It wants to create everything like an msi file.

Thanks for your help.

Dear David,

if I haven't missed your question, just create a project from the available "Blank" project template.

Hope this helps you.

In an older version of Installaware I was able to create a simple exe file that I created a script by using what looks like the msi code editor. How do I do this. I do not want an msi or anythin installed. Thanks for your help.

Yes but it still has the msi code in the properties. When you build the project there are so many files and it seems like it is still building an msi database info as well. If I am just trying to creat a basic script using the tool then why so many files and the requirement of the code??

Also how can I hide the Installaware splash screen that pops up on each script I run?? It makes it look like a software installation is happening. There should be an easy way to do this and the compile directory much smaller for just a script???

Dear David,

I am really confused!

A blank project doesn't contain anything by default and it doesn't create any MSI file ... it is just a script.

If you want to hide the initialization dialog, just execute the generated package in silent mode.

Hope this helps you.
