Execute Script/Batch File allows developers to enter the text of a script or batch file which the installer executes on the target system. When this action runs, it first resolves any InstallAnywhere variables in the script. It then saves the script to the InstallAnywhere temp directory and executes the script. The Execute Script/Batch File action finishes by cleaning up and deleting the script from the temp directory.
The Execute Script/Batch File customizer includes the following options:
