InstallScript Breakpoints
InstallShield 2020 » InstallScript Debugger
A breakpoint is a location in your script where execution will stop when the script is run under the InstallScript Debugger’s control. You can set breakpoints by clicking in the left margin near the statement at which you want execution to stop. Once a breakpoint has been set, it remains in effect until it is cleared or the InstallScript Debugger is closed.
The role of breakpoints in debugging is to interrupt execution at those places in the script where you want to make a close analysis. Once the script has executed to a breakpoint, you can then step through the statements that follow and watch the variables that are integral to that section of the script. To execute to the next breakpoint, click the Go button on the toolbar.
Statements with breakpoints are displayed with indicating attributes. When the script is executed under debugger control, execution stops immediately before a statement that has been set as a breakpoint.
