WiseScript Actions
Change SVS Layer GUID
This SVS script action changes a layer’s GUID.
Example: You can use this action to create a copy of a layer that is seen by SVS as a
different layer. This is similar to changing the ProductCode and PackageCode of an .MSI
file. To create a copy of a layer, create a script that imports an archive file, changes the
layer’s GUID, and then exports a copy of the original archive file.

Layer GUID
Enter the layer’s GUID (globally unique identifier) or a variable that represents the
layer’s GUID. If you enter the layer’s GUID, do not include the { } brackets.
For information on creating a variable for a layer’s GUID, see

on
page 66 and

on page 85.
z
New Layer GUID
Enter a new GUID for the layer or a variable that represents the new GUID. If you
enter a new GUID, do not include the { } brackets.
z
Return variable
(Optional.) Enter a name for the return variable. When this script action runs
successfully, either 0 or 1 is placed in this variable.
