modifying a string table entry via automation
Posted on 2013-01-02
Hello,
I want to modify a string table entry value, already present, in my .ism file, via Installshield automation.
But, I can't figure out how to do this.
The entry that I want to modify is in the ISString table.
And I know the ID of the string entry itself.
And I know what I want to change the value to.
I just can’t figure out what the code should look like.
I am already using automation to open the .ism file and change a number of entries for various things, before saving it and then building the .MSI file.
I’d would be grateful for an example, from someone who has done such a thing.
Thanks in advance for considering my request for help.

Here's VB6-based pseudo-code, hopefully it will make sense. It will change the value of the row with id = "IDPROP_SETUPTYPE_COMPLETE
set isd = createobject("ISWiAuto16.ISWiProject")
isd.OpenProject "<path>"
For Each t In isd.ISWiLanguages(1).ISWiStringEntries
If t.ID = "IDPROP_SETUPTYPE_COMPLETE" and t.Value = "Complete" Then t.Value = "Almost Complete"
Next
isd.SaveProject
isd.CloseProject
