InstallShield 2016 ยป InstallScript Language Reference
Advanced batch file functions differ from Ez batch file functions in that they provide greater flexibility and more control over batch files. Use these functions when you need to make more extensive or complex changes to a batch file.
To edit a batch file with these advanced functions, you must first load the file into memory by calling BatchFileLoad. When modifications to the batch file are complete, you must then save the file by calling BatchFileSave.
When an InstallScript custom action initializes, InstallShield selects the target system's startup batch file (Autoexec.bat) as the default batch file; unless changed by a call to BatchSetFileName this is the file that BatchFileLoad reads into memory if no other file name is specified. To determine the fully qualified name of the default batch file, call BatchGetFileName.
