Components        

Useful SetupS Component Tools

• %WaitForIt% "[path\filename]|[filename]" : Force SetupS to pause until a specific file or process is created. Shortcut files (.lnk) are recommended because they are often created last by installers.
• %AddonInstaller% "[path\filename]" : Process Addons such as ones from Kel or RyanVM. 
  Note: This requires 7-Zip be available (usually in Tools).
• %ProcessKill% "[filename]" : To force a process/task to close from a given filename.
• %AddToHosts% "{IP address} {host name}" : Sets mappings of IP addresses to host names.

For example: 

%AddToHosts% "127.0.0.1 secure.example.com"

• %Extract% "{archive}" -o"{destination path}" : Extract an archive to a specified destination path. Exactly equivalent to: '7z x -y -aoa {archive} -o{destination path}'.  Note: This requires 7-Zip be available (usually in Tools).

For example: 

%Extract% "Extras.rar" -o"%SystemRoot%\ssTek"

becomes...

7z.exe x -y -aoa "Extras.rar" -o"C:Windows\ssTek"

Ξ Some Notes: 

1. These can be used in <Assembly> or <Script> only.
2. With the exception of %Extract%, the components are built into SetupS when used within <Assembly>. All are evoked as external tools when used within <Script>.
