InstallShield 2019 » InstallScript Language Reference
Project • This information applies to the following project types:
| • | InstallScript |
| • | Suite/Advanced UI |
Note • All of these functions are available for InstallScript installations that may be included as InstallScript packages in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation. For more information, see Adding an InstallScript Package to an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project.
Furthermore, all of these functions except for FeatureConfigureFeaturesFromSuite and SuiteReportError are available for InstallScript actions that are included in Suite/Advanced UI installations. For more information, see Working with an Action that Runs InstallScript Code in a Suite/Advanced UI Installation.
The FeatureConfigureFeaturesFromSuite is also available in the following scenarios; however, the other Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI functions return an error:
| • | The function is called in an InstallScript installation that is launched directly (that is, not from an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation). |
| • | The function is called in an InstallScript installation that is included in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation as an executable package. |
InstallScript includes the following functions for interacting with an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI installation that contains an InstallScript package. These functions (with the exception of FeatureConfigureFeaturesFromSuite) are also available for interacting with the running Suite/Advanced UI installation through an InstallScript action.
