Can you invoke the NS6 'cleanbeforerun' option on a custom NS7 inventory VbScript
We have a custom inventory VBScript below that doesn't always produce an output NSE.
Does anyone know of a way to invoke the old NS6 \cleanbeforerun option, or equivalent, for custom inventory scripts of this type?

If you delete the .nsi and/or .bak file for that data class in the script first, that should have the same effect.
