I would like to group certain "reusable" homegrown InstallScript functions into files to leverage development time and minimize maintenance. However, compilation fails when a script calls a function in a different script file. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Have you done a #include <scriptfile> in your main setup.rul?

[BobRouse]

Yeah, that worked, thanks....

Is there any problem using a "public" variable declared in one InstallScript file in a different InstallScript file? Will the value be carried over from one script to the next? Or do I need to write it to and read it from a property?

Global variables declared in one file should be accessable from another.

I'm having the same issue. I define a global variable in "Setup.rul", after my prototypes, but before any function definitions. This global is available to functions defined in setup.rul, but not to functions defined in another .rul file that is #included in setup.rul.

There are a few threads that have this same issue... anyone?

I've figured out something that works. After I moved all of my Global variables and prototypes out of the .rul file, into a .h file of the same name, everything compiled fine. Not quite sure why it would work this way...
