The WISE Installation System is a very powerful
tool for creating installation routines.
I've written four DLLs that work with WISE. All of these come with a
sample script. Yes, WISE 6.0 and 7.0 support direct DLL function calling,
but these DLLs ease the burden of figuring out how to get an API call to work. In addition to my page, see Chad Kudzu's web page for more WISE tools.
- Map a drive With WISE, if you want to
install to a network location, you must have the drive mapped before
starting the program. With this DLL, you can map a drive to a UNC
during the installation. WiseMap maps, maps to the next available
drive, and map deletes. The DLL now supports permenant drive mappings,
usernames and passwords!
- Free disk space in bytes.
WISE will check disk space, but it doesn't actually tell you how
much disk space is free. This DLL will return the number of bytes
(kilobytes for FAT32 and NTFS drives) free on the disk.
FreeSpac supports FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS drives.
- Delete a registry value WISE does not delete
registry values (values are the individual entries contained in
keys). This DLL allows you to delete values.
- Manipulate multi-string values in the Windows NT
registry. Helps you read, write, and append multi-string values.
