InstallShield InstallScript Objects 14.0

InstallShield InstallScript Objects is a scripting language provided by Macrovision, used primarily for customizing the installation process in InstallShield projects.

You can create an instance of an InstallScript object using the CreateObject() function, followed by the ID of the object as specified in the documentation.

Some common InstallScript objects available in InstallShield include ISWiAutomation, ISObject, IsString, ISRegistry, ISDlg, ISCmdBld, and ISMajorVersion.

To call methods or access properties of an InstallScript object, you use the dot operator (.) followed by the method or property name. For example: MyObject.MyMethod() or MyObject.MyProperty.

Yes, you can create your own custom InstallScript objects by defining them in your script using the CLASS statement. This allows you to encapsulate functionality and reuse it across multiple installations.
