CapaInstaller Scripting Library

The CapaInstaller Scripting Library provides a powerful set of software-installation functions that can be called from any VBScript. It provides many advantages compared to the standard technique of writing new, custom functions for every new installation project:

  • Pre-made functionality helps to ensure rapid development and deployment
  • Various scripts written by several different authors will be standardized and therefore easier to understand and share
  • The function set has been designed by experts in software distribution, therefore including support for all of the most common and even many less-obvious installation-related tasks
  • All functions have been thoroughly tested

The CapaInstaller Scripting Library is installed with the CapaInstaller agent. It must be installed on all client computers where you wish to run the packages you create using CIPC. CIPC also uses it to generate scripts, so the Setup Wizard installs the agent on the computer where you install CIPC.

The scripts that CIPC generates load the library and your shared custom functions in Customlib.
