Creating Projects, Processes, and Tools
When the user displays the process in the Projects tab, the values of [ProjectDir] and
[ProjectName] are displayed (Example, V:\Wise Share
Point\Projects\Application1\Application1.wsi).
Note
When you display tool help in the Tools tab, the values for project-related variables are
not displayed because the tools are not associated with projects.
See
Wise Package Studio Variables
on page 75.
Command Line Options
¾
Not available in Standard Edition.
You can use command-line options to change the way a tool or task runs in Workbench.
Example: You can set an option that causes Windows Installer Editor to open the default
project package automatically. Enter command-line options when you create a tool in
Tool Setup or when you create a task in Process Templates Setup.

Guidelines for
Entering Command Line Options
.
Most predefined tools require a command-line option to run. In general, you should not
change the command-line options of predefined tools, or the tool might not run
properly.
To customize the way a predefined tool runs, it is best to add command-line options
when you associate that tool with a task in Process Templates Setup. There, you can
select from predefined command-line options for that tool. These predefined options
have plain English descriptions that make it easier to understand what each command-
line option does. You can define options for the predefined tools or for any tool you
create.
See
Defining Command Line Options for Tools
on page 73.
Warning
Changing an existing command-line option affects all existing projects and processes
that use that option.
Guidelines for Entering Command Line Options
When you add a new tool or when you add tasks to a process, you can enter command-
line options to apply to the tool that runs (optional). In Process Templates Setup, you
add command-line options to the Options field. In Tool Setup, you add command-line
options to the Command Line field.
