The combination of power and simplicity made script languages very popular. AWinstall supports ActiveX Scripting model and allows you to implement the complex installation logic using your favorite scripting language.

Basically, two ActiveX Script languages are supported: VBScript and JScript. But if your setup requires (or installs) another specific scripting engine, you may use it in AWinstall.

We provide the access to AWinstall engine trough the OLE Automation. Your script may control the installation by using built-in Installer object. Additionally, the large set of applications and system APIs are available to scripting, including MS Office Applications, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), Windows Script Runtime objects and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

Your own ActiveX objects may also be used via scripts. Just register your object before script executing, and you may use it via IDispatch interface.
