IAttachedScriptFileCustomAction

Declaration

IAttachedScriptFileCustomAction: ICustomAction

Overview

This interface facilitates editing custom action for launching attached script file.

Properties

String AttachedSourceFile - Gets or sets the source path to the custom action executable file.

String ScriptType - Get or sets the script type. Supported values are: javascript, javascript64, vbscript, vbscript64.

String FunctionName - Gets or sets the name of a function JavaScript or VBScript type.

String ActionData - Gets or sets the value of the CustomActionData property. This property can be retrieved as a regular property inside Deferred custom actions and it is available only for DLL, JScript and VBScript custom actions. A common usage scenario is to use the CustomActionData property in Rollback Custom Actions since they are also deferred.

Examples

$advinst = new-object -com AdvancedInstaller
$project = $advinst.CreateProjectS(“architect”)
$custAct = $project.CustomActionsComponent.NewLaunchAttachedScriptFile(“D:\my_script.vbs”)
$custAct.FunctionName = “MyFunction”
