About OLE Automation

Professional and Enterprise Editions only.

You can write macros that use OLE Automation functions and objects to automate

installation tasks. Example: You can write a macro that always places certain files in

certain locations upon making a new installation, or that makes certain files Read-only

when you add them to an installation.

While the Wise editor includes a built-in macro editor for building OLE scripts, the Visual

Studio integrated editor does not; it is assumed that you will use Visual Studio .NET as

your script authoring environment.

Note

You can use OLE Automation with Visual Studio or other scripting environments.
