Editing the Summary table of Wise for Windows installer

I have a similar question as a previous post:

http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthre...highlight=wise

I'm also trying to edit a table different from the property table in Wise. I'm am mainly trying to automatically edit the Summary table for the windows installer. Is there any means of doing that?

Thanks.
I'm am unfamilar with the previous poster's solution of exporting & importing of the idt file.

My main purpose for editing the summary table set the version number from a Visual build macro into the summary table's version number

Thanks

The version is typically stored in the ProductVersion property (updated from the Wise action via a Property/Value setting for ProductVersion). To update a value in a different table, you could use the WfWI automation object model to set the desired value. For instance, add this VBScript to the Wise step's vbld_StepStarted script event (step properties -> Script Editor -> step tab -> Events -> vbld_StepStarted):

Set wise = CreateObject("WFWI.Document")
fname = Step.ExpProperty(Builder, "Filename")
wise.Open fname
Set tblSumm = wise.WTables("Summary")
tblSumm.WRows.Row("<version # row key>").WColumns("Value").Data = Application.ExpandMacrosAndScript("%VER_MACRO%")
wise.Save fname

replacing <version # row key> and VER_MACRO as appropriate.
