SmartScan Wizard

The SmartScan Wizard is designed to scan original, InstallShield Professional 5.x and later media for setup
information that may not have been captured during repackaging, such as possible additional files,
shortcuts, or registry data, which is often included in language-specific or platform-specific setups. This primarily
involves OS-dependent and language-dependent files that may be included in header files. Ultimately, this makes
the installation more portable.
Tip • Any files found will be displayed in Repackager in a different color (as specified in the Color tab of the Options
dialog box).
The SmartScan Wizard is also able to group files, shortcuts and registry entries into features corresponding to
InstallShield Professional components. Any items (files, folders, shortcuts, or registry entries) that are attached to a
component directly or indirectly (through File Groups), are attached to their corresponding features.
Automatic Launch of the SmartScan Wizard
For your convenience, if a Repackaging project is opened (either by using Open on the File menu or by using the
Repackaging Wizard), and the project meets certain conditions, the SmartScan Wizard is automatically launched.
The SmartScan Wizard is launched:
• if the original setup was an InstallShield Professional 5.5 or later installation, and
• the file has not already been repackaged using the
InstallShield Editor and DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installations only), and
