Modify string entry value via automation
Good morning,
I would like to know if it is possible, to modify the value of a sting entry inside of my .ism via automation.
I know the string identifier (ID_STRING34) of the string entry.
I would like to use automation to change its value, before I save the .ism file and then build a new .MSI.
Might this be possible ?
And if so, can I ask for an example ?
I already use automation to change a number of things inside the .ism.
Such as Package Code, Product Code, etc before building the .MSI.
So, I'm a bit, familiar with automation.
But far from being an expert. That's for sure.
I've never done anything with string values before.
And would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't used it myself, but the docs mention an ISWiStringEntries collection of ISWiStringEntry objects that looks like it would help.
