WiseScript Actions
The password prompt appears only once, for the first password-protected file in an
installation, regardless of the number of password-protected files. If no password-
protected files are slated for installation, the prompt does not appear.
z
Include Sub-Directories
If you specify a directory in Source Pathname, mark this to include all
subdirectories and their contents.
z
Shared DLL Counter
If this is marked, and the file is a .DLL or .VBX, Windows tracks the file to prevent
its removal if an installed application is still using it.
z
No Progress Bar
To hide the progress bar, mark this for every file in the installation. If you mark it
for some files, but not others, the progress bar seems to display continuously
because the screen does not refresh between files.
z
Self-Register OCX/DLL/EXE/TLB
All .OCXs and .TLBs and some .DLLs and .EXEs support self-registration. Mark this
so the file registers itself in the Windows registry before it is used. This action does
not register the file, but specifies that it should be registered later. Include a Self-
Register OCX/DLL action to register the file.
See
Self-Register OCXs/DLLs
on page 110.
z
Replace Existing File
Select when to replace existing files on the destination computer.
Always
The new file always replaces the old file.
Never
The file never overwrites an existing file. Select this for files that should be
installed if they are not present, but which might be customized by the end user
and should therefore not be replaced on re-installation (example: configuration
files).
Check File
The existing file is only replaced if the requirements you set in File Version and
File Date/Time are true.
Doesn’t Matter
Select this option if only one of the requirements, File Version or File
Date/Time, must be fulfilled to replace the existing file.
Same or Older
For File Version, this replaces the existing file if it has a version resource
that is the same as or older than the new file. If the existing file lacks a
version resource, it is not replaced.
For File Date/Time, this replaces the existing file if its modification date
and time are the same or older than the new file.
Older
For File Version, this replaces the existing file if it has a version resource
that is older than the new file. If the existing file lacks a version resource, it
is not replaced.
For File Date/Time, this replaces the existing file if its modification date
and time are older than the new file.
