Function Parameters Panel

InstallShield 2025 » Function Wizard

Displays the name of the function selected in the Function Name panel and the parameters for that function. Next to each parameter is either an edit box in which you can enter a variable name or a value, or a drop-down menu from which you can select a parameter value.

To specify function parameters and insert the function into your script:

1.

Complete the arguments for each function. When you place the cursor in an edit field, the parameter description appears at the bottom of the panel. If there are predefined options available for a parameter, the edit field contains a drop-down menu. Note that you can select only one option from a drop-down menu, even when the options are not exclusive.

Note:You can enter strings (or string identifiers) and numbers directly in the edit fields, but you must pay careful attention to the purpose of the parameters. One clue is the InstallScript Hungarian notation in the variable name.

You must declare all variable names that you use in all function calls. The Function Wizard does not declare them for you.

2.

Click Finish to insert the function call into your setup script. If you need further help, place the cursor in the function name and press the F1 key.
