Debugging Scripts

InstallShield 2014

The InstallScript Debugger is useful for stepping through your InstallScript code and checking the progress of your code.

Before you can debug your script, you must first compile it, execute it as a custom action (if applicable), and build a release.

To debug your script directly from within InstallShield, do one of the following:

InstallShield will run the installation and open the InstallScript Debugger when the custom action is executed.

While you are in the InstallScript Debugger, press F1 at any point to view the InstallScript Debugger Help.

For information about debugging on a test system, see Debugging an Installation on any Computer.
