Setup Scripts

InstallShield 2014 » InstallScript Language Reference

A setup script is a collection of event handlers, functions called by those event handlers, and data used by the event handlers and functions. These elements are expressed in the InstallScript Language, a simple but powerful programming language. InstallScript is similar to the C language. It has a defined format and regulated syntax. It uses certain data types, each with specific properties. It also allows you to create custom functions.

InstallScript, however, does not provide the full range of programming functionality that C does. InstallScript was designed to do one thing—create setups. And it does this effectively and efficiently.

Regardless of your programming background, you can learn quickly to build your setup with InstallScript.
