Using the Win32 DLL

The steps for programmatically emitting and building an InstallAware setup are summarized as follows:

1. Use the script management functions to programmatically generate a setup script.
2. Store the total number of lines used in your script for use in step 3 below.
3. Use the project management functions to programmatically generate a setup project. Have the project reference an existing setup script.
4. Use the build function to build a newly generated or existing setup project.
