WiseScript Actions
File Date/Time Modified (four-digit year)
Same as File Date/Time Modified above except a different format. Example:
07/14/2005 11:18:10
Disk Free Space (KBytes)
Free disk space of the drive that is specified in Pathname. In Pathname, enter
a drive (C:\) or a path (%MAINDIR%\Readme.txt). If you enter a path, it
returns the free space on the drive that the path refers to. You can enter a UNC
path such as \\Server_Name\Apps\Cat.exe.
Current Date/Time (Regional settings)
The date and time specified by the destination computer’s regional settings.
UTC File Date/Time Modified
Same as File Date/Time Modified above except in Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC) format. Coordinated Universal Time is an international time
standard, in which all time zones are computed relative to UTC. Example: in the
United States, Central Standard Time (CST) is six hours earlier than UTC time—
10:00 UTC is 4:00 CST.
Is OS 64 Bit
The value of the variable you specified above is set to 1 if the destination
computer is running a 64-bit operating system, and 0 if not.
z
Pathname
Use this field only for operations that retrieve information on files or directories.
Specify the full path of the file or directory to retrieve information from. You can use
variables (example: %MAINDIR%\Readme.txt). You also can enter a hardcoded
path (example: C:\Program Files\File.exe) but it is not recommended.
The sample script Autoplay.wse uses this action. For details on sample scripts, see
ScriptHelp.htm in the Samples subdirectory of this product’s installation directory.
Get Temporary Filename
This action generates a unique, temporary file name and stores it in a variable. Use the
temporary name when you need to install a file to the Windows Temp directory
(%TEMP%). Files that you create using this file name are deleted when the installation
finishes. Example: Use this to install a .DLL that is called during installation, and is then
no longer needed.
To complete the dialog box
z
Variable
Specify a variable in which to store the temporary file name. Only a file name is
generated. To refer to this file, prefix it with the %TEMP% variable extension.
Example: If the variable is %HELPFILE%, the full path of the file would be
%TEMP%\%HELPFILE%.
Get Windows Installer Property
This action gets the value of a Windows Installer property in the currently running
Windows Installer installation and puts it into a WiseScript variable. Use this action only
in WiseScripts that are called from a Windows Installer installation.
