I have been using Wise Package Studio for about a year now to create VSAs and now I am starting to use it to create WiseScripts. Does anyone have some recomendations for some good books to help me learn this?
Thanks.
Hi By Wise Scripts, do you
Hi
By Wise Scripts, do you mean the wise scripting language that looks like the old SMS Installer or VB Scripts that interact with the Wise COM Interface
Wise Scripts Library
You better go through Dragon Soft wise script library. Following is the link

Thanks,

By Wise Script I mean when you open up Wise and go to tools and select WiseScript Package Editor.
The dragon soft is just a library of premade scripts. I am looking more for something informative or a how to, or even a Wise for Dummies kind of book.
I created a document with Screen shots on creating WSE files
I have been creating and testing Application Packages for over 7 years with Wise Package Studio.
I use Wise Script express to create custom actions. I either embed them within the MSI package and call them during the installation sequence, or I use the Action "Run WiseScript from installation" to call them from my Wise Share Point.
I have converted 3 pages of a VBScript created by another application packager into 8 lines of code within a WSE file and compiled into an EXE.
Please visit my website, and email me asking about the documents on creating and using WSE custom actions. I am always willing to help newbies for free since I was once one myself.

The Wise Package Studio
The Wise Package Studio installation has a collection of sample wisescripts demonstrating most of the commands available in the wisescript editor. Equally, the scripts in the Dragonsoft library are a useful reference as they demonstrate the use of many advanced functions such as DLL calls.
Unfortunately, there is no "Wisescript for Dummies" book available, but the Wisescript forum on the Altiris website (soon to be migrated here) has also got many code examples in past postings.
With WPS, you can also use the capture engine to capture an install and create a Wisescript (instead of an MSI), which you can study further to explore what is being done in the script code.
It's actually quite easy to pick up the basics of wisescripting, so go ahead and create some simple scripts for yourself to get some feel for what is possible.
If your issue has been solved, please use the "Mark as Solution" link on the most relevant thread.
