Editing an Archive File’s WiseScript Wrapper
When you create a release on the Releases page, a WiseScript wrapper is created for
your virtual software archive file (.VSA). This WiseScript wrapper contains the logic
needed to properly install your application. By default, the WiseScript wrapper also
includes several installation dialog boxes that appear when the end user runs the
compiled .EXE. It also includes maintenance mode dialog boxes that the end user can
access from Add/Remove Programs.
You can edit the WiseScript wrapper in WiseScript Package Editor and add any
functionality that is available in WiseScript Package Editor. This includes editing the
default dialog boxes or adding other dialog boxes.
You can also edit the template that creates the wrapper. Edit the template to apply
changes to every WiseScript wrapper.
