[. . . ] Expression True means the expression in the Value field below is evaluated according to the rules outlined in Variables and Expressions on page 28. (The password comparisons are not applicable in this product. ) The Value Enter the value to be used in the comparison, or an expression if the comparison is set to Expression True. If you enter variable names, do not surround them with percent signs (%). If you enter compiler variables, then you must surround them with percent signs. Below the If Statement, add one or more actions to perform if the variable has the specified value. Follow the Else action with one or more actions to perform if the compiler variable does not have the specified value. Add an End Statement. Sample scripts that use this action are Search. wse, WiseUp. wse, and scripts that manipulate strings and perform calculations. For details on sample scripts, see ScriptHelp. htm in the Samples subdirectory of this product's installation directory. See also: Else Statement on page 60 ElseIf Statement on page 60 End Statement on page 61 Include Script This action adds an additional script to the current installation script. During compile, the include script is copied into the calling script at the location of the Include Script action, resulting in a combination of the scripts. Include scripts can save time because you can develop a library of WiseScripts that perform specific functions, like subroutines. You can re-use include scripts and share WiseScript Editor Reference 72 them with colleagues. They typically contain just a few lines of code, such as calling an . EXE or displaying a particular dialog box. Include scripts can be any size with the limitation that the calling script plus include scripts cannot be more than 32, 000 lines. Include scripts are displayed in tabs at the bottom of the script window. Otherwise the include script contains the default script, which is designed to perform an installation. The combined script would then have two wizard loops, two of every dialog box, and so on. Only the script is inserted into the calling script. To complete the dialog box Pathname Specify the path of the script. It should be a . WSE file on your computer, not the destination computer. Because the main script and include scripts are combined during compile, not run time, do not use a run-time variable in Pathname. Example of a line in the script that includes a script: Include Script C:\Scripts\OpensWord. wse Example of what a short include script might look like: Execute %PROGRAM_FILES%\winword. exe Insert Line Into Text File This action edits a text file on the destination computer. Use it to edit configuration files that cannot be edited by Edit INI File, Add Device to System. ini, Add Command to Config. sys, or Add Command to Autoexec. bat.

Example: A but not B True if expression X is numerically greater than Y True if expression X is numerically less than Y True if expression X is numerically greater than or equal to Y True if expression X is numerically less than or equal to Y True if expression X is numerically equal to Y True if expression X is not numerically equal to Y Command-Line Options You can set command-line options when you run WiseScript Editor, the installation executable, and the uninstaller executable. These are especially useful for running an installation as part of a batch file or other automated installation system. If you compile from the command line, compile errors generate return codes.
