Script Support

Client configuration scripts are written in Unicode and are similar to DOS batch files. The client configuration scripts execute commands sequentially and employ conditional expressions, branching, tracing, and comments.

Scripts recognize comment lines that start with a semicolon, a hash symbol, or the keyword rem. Blank lines are also considered comment lines.

A scripting language enables more advanced features like custom installs and custom scripts. The script commands help an administrator to create an XML BLOB that describes a process to install applications, remove applications, make changes to the registry, save some registry keys, and so on.
