Hey guys ! I was wondering if there is any possible way where I could use C++ coding instead of LUA into my AMS project ?

I found an LUA Grid object in GitHub:

It contains the code for creating the abstract Grid in memory, but does not display it. Has anyone created a Grid display for SUF?

Thanks....

I built an msi installer package that runs and installs fine. However I'm having trouble getting the bootstrapper exe to run to completion. There is a call into the global functions script near the top of my mainscript.lua:

I found the debug cycle of more complex Lua functions not related directly to Setup functions rather painful inside our project, since I have to build the whole thing for every cycle. A dummy project might help, but is still suboptimal.

Are the Lua sources protected in any way or can the installer be decompressed and the sources be found?

I know that there is a plugin available for Setup Factory etc. (WOW64 plugin) where it is possible to enable/disable the registry redirection. I have an 32bit installer MSI and have to modify some registry values after a check algorithm if existing values in a subkey path are existing...

Here is a script I converted from an SQL function and added leading and trailing white space to try and keep it a bit cleaner.

Enjoy

My projects have been migrated via upgrades from SUF 7.0 through UF 8.0 and now 9.

I notice that under SUF 9, they refer to a global script file _SUF70_Global_Functions.lua

Would a newly created project do the same. Would there be an advantage to starting over, and would...

Hi there

I'm writing a reasonably complex lua script to be used by the bootstapper (I'm creating a custom dependency module). To assist script debugging I would like to log various messages. There are plenty of lua scripts in bootstrap\dependencies folder - all of them use Application.WriteToLogFile()....
