Run VBScrpt

MSI Factory

Creates a custom action that runs a VBScript file. Corresponds to Windows Installer custom action types 6, 22 and 54.

See the Attributes tab for more details about scheduling, run options and return values.

Location

Internal binary

If selected, the VBScript file (.vbs) will be stored in and called from the Binary table of your Windows Installer database.

Source file:

The full path and filename of the VBScript file on your local development system. You can click the Browse button to select a file.

Installed with product

If selected, the VBScript file is a file that you are installing with your software. In this case, the timing of the action (see the Attributes tab) must adhere to the following rules:

1. The custom action must be sequenced after the CostFinalize action. This is so that the custom action can resolve the path needed to locate the script.

2. If the source file is not already installed on the computer, deferred (in-script) custom actions of this type must be sequenced after the InstallFiles action.

3. If the source file is not already installed on the computer, non-deferred custom actions of this type must be sequenced after the InstallFinalize action.
