Unsorted notes related to VBScript and JScript custom actions (assuming the world can’t talk you out of it):
- Use CreateObject, not WScript.CreateObject.
- Use Session.Property (or just plain Property) to get and set properties from a custom action:
' VBScript:
Session.Property("USERNAME") = "Valued Customer" ' value must be a string
MsgBox "Hello, " & Session.Property("USERNAME") - For Directory-table properties, use
Session.TargetPath("CaseSensitivePropertyName")
- Session.Property in a deferred custom action requires use of CustomActionData.
- If you want to catch the return value from a script function, the script code must be stored in a file, and not in the CustomAction table.
- Script custom actions cannot be run asynchronously. (I found this out only recently when I was experimenting with SpawnWaitDialog, about which more later.)
