Script Window

InstallShield 2026 » InstallScript Debugger

The script window in the InstallScript Debugger displays your script so that you can view it as you run it. The next statement to be executed is positioned in the window and indicated by a yellow arrow. Lines with breakpoints have a red circle on the left. You cannot set and remove breakpoints by double-clicking a line.

The title bar of the script window shows the full name of the setup file. The script window scrolls automatically if necessary when you use the Step Into or Step Over commands to trace through a set of statements. Likewise, when script execution is halted at a breakpoint, the window is scrolled automatically to display the location of the breakpoint.
