Base64 decode in InstallScript installer

Question

I have one InstallScript installer. In this installer, I wanted to encode and decode one string using base64 encoding/decoding. Is there any function or API available in InstallScript to achieve this ?

Answer 1

Too little time to really answer, but how about throwing in some suggestions anyway? (too long to make it a comment):

• I suppose you could look into the Boost C++ library? (Should be callable from Installscript? I haven't worked with Installscript properly for a long time).
• Also, over at installsite.org you could check with the community: forum.installsite.net for any further clues? I couldn't find anything in the Installscript samples list, but have a look there too? (link from front page). I bet Stefan Kruger himself would certainly know how to do this.
• There is also the Installshield community: community.installshield.com. I would check specifically if the use of Boost is something that is not desirable - for some reason I am unware of (for example better features in Installshield that I don't know about).
