Re: Evaluating SB and Wise OK. This could be an improvement for future versions of SB. Toni

Re: Evaluating SB and Wise Hi Toni, No, you can't copy from the Windows clipboard to the Script Editor. Of course, you can open a script function in SB and then paste Wise specific data from the Clipboard into the entry fields (that's what I did in my previous example). But that is not what you are trying to do. Friedrich
Re: Evaluating SB and Wise Hi Friedrich, I can understand that a copy in Wise cannot be pasted to SB. But copying in Wise I can paste it to notepad, word or similar in an readable textformat. After that I could do some processing on the generated strings to make them compatible with SB-clipboard format. For example, in InstallAware the wise-script-lines item: Install File Source=f:\Cop\Hlp\HelpMan4\%_VENDOR_%\Rapido.chm Destination=%MAINDIR%\Rapido.chm Flags=0000000010000010 end would look like ~InstallAware Clipboard Data~ ~Install Files~ ~{5BCA9255-E4D6-49CD-874B-5E9EAC233AE1}~ ~f:\Cop\Hlp\HelpMan4\$_VENDOR_$\Rapido.chm~ ~FALSE|~ ~$MAINDIR$\Rapido.chm~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ ~FALSE~ Therefore my question: is it possible to paste data from the standard windows clipboard into the scripting editor of SB? And if so, where can I retrieve the format (syntax) this data must have? best regards Toni
Re: Evaluating SB and Wise Toni, Unfortunately, you can't copy and paste from the Wise IDE to the SetupBuilder IDE (or vice-versa). The underlying script format is too different. Your Wise code: Source=f:\Cop\Hlp\HelpMan4\%_VENDOR_%\Rapido.chm Destination=%MAINDIR%\Rapido.chm converted (via copy and paste) to SB7 looks like this (see attached screenshot). %_SB_INSTALLDIR% is the equivalent to %MAINDIR% Friedrich
Evaluating SB and Wise Hi, I'm evaluating SB. Actually I'm using Wise Installation 9. From previous threads I learned there is no wse-script import and I can follow your point of view it would be difficult doing a complete conversion. But it could be usefull to "import" single sections like the "file copying". So I tried if there was a way doing it through the clipboard. In Wise copying a script line to the clipboard, that information can be pasted to and editor like notepad, example item: Install File Source=f:\Cop\Hlp\HelpMan4\%_VENDOR_%\Rapido.chm Destination=%MAINDIR%\Rapido.chm Flags=0000000010000010 end In SetupBuilder I can copy / paste script-lines, too, but only inside the application, no "external" paste is available. My idea was to paste all wise-scripting lines "Install File" to an external editor, change it to SB-syntax and paste it to SB. Is there a way to do this? best regards Toni
