Plug-In Extensibility

Develop custom plug-ins that extend the InstallAware scripting language. Plug-ins have full access to the installation - both at build time and runtime. They even display their own custom lines in the InstallAware script. Several template plug-in projects are available to jump-start your plug-in development efforts, with the required library exports already declared.

Any language that is capable of creating dynamic link libraries may be used to develop InstallAware plug-ins. However, if you are looking for simpler ways to extend your setup, InstallAware also provides the means to call any arbitrary DLL function directly from within your script.
