InstallShield 2016 » InstallScript Language Reference

Note • To call this function in a Basic MSI setup, you must first create a custom action for the entry-point function, execute the custom action in a sequence or as the result of a dialog's control event, and then build the release.

* InstallShield Example Script

* Demonstrates the Sprintf function.

*

* This script gets the capacity of drive C: and then calls

* Sprintf to create a formatted message.  That message

* includes the drive letter and disk size, which are stored

* in variables.  The message is then displayed.
