Trying to understand what stand behinde Wisescript

Question

I have two questions regarding to Wisescript,

(For those who don't familiar with Wisescirpt, it let you create installers, just like MSI)

Inside Wisescirpt Reference guide, there is a saying:

"Because the WiseScript engine is written in C++, when you build a WiseScript, you are building a C++ program"

So my first question is: how can I see the c++ of my own wisescript?

The seconde question, is I didn't understand what it the relation between VBscript to Wisescript, I know there is option to import VBscript into Wisescript, and aslo when I open the Wisescript with notepad, I can see code that's look like VBscript, but I don't it VBscript

My second question in briefly is: What is the relation between Wisescript and VBscript? (I am interested to understand the interpreter, complier layers..)

Thanks,

Dan

You can't, from the same reason you can't see the C++ code of an application. It refers to the language used to generate the installer.

I didn't understand what it the relation between VBscript to Wisescript, I know there is option to import VBscript into Wisescript

They are two different scripting languages. WiseScript is proprietary, VBScript is a Windows standard. The relation between them is set by the installation package: WiseScript generates an installer, VBScript can be used as a custom action in that installer.
