The CapaInstaller Scripting Library provides a powerful set of software-installation functions that can be called from any VBScript. It provides many advantages compared to the standard technique of writing new, custom functions for every new installation project:

- Pre-made functionality helps to ensure rapid development and deployment
- Various scripts written by several different authors will be standardized and therefore easier to understand and share
- The function set has been designed by experts in software distribution, therefore including support for all of the most common and even many less-obvious installation-related tasks
- All functions have been thoroughly tested

The CapaInstaller Scripting Library must be installed on all client computers where you wish to run the packages you create using CIPC.
