Include script parameters

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

I got curious about this option for the #include statement. The help says:

"[in] If an Include Script is configurable, the Include Script dialog has an
enabled variable/value list. To change configuration values, select the
variable name of the item to configure and click details (or double click
the item). "

I cannot find any way to configure an include script, i.e. make it
configurable. The list box on the #include dialog is always disabled. I
don't find anything in the help about it. What's the trick master?

Also the help says about the "Script" entry: "You cannot use a compiler
variable in this field. " This is not correct as I'm using a compiler
variable to point the installs to the correct folder:)

Best regards,

Hi Arnór,

As an example, see one of the Core PreRequisite include scripts.

The trick is to enable the "Include Script Compiler Variable Configuration"
option in the compiler variable (in the .sbi).

You are right! The "You cannot use a compiler variable in this field."
statement in the V8 documentation is outdated. We already changed this in
"SetupBuilder 7.0 (Release Candidate) Build 2639 (June 27, 2009)".

IMPROVEMENT: The "#include script..." compiler directive supports compiler
variables now.
---

Fixed in the documentation now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Aha! Perhaps this should be mentioned and referenced in the help for the
#include statement:) I couldn't find it anywhere.

Best regards,
