Windows Installer Editor Reference
When you add files to a package that has already been distributed to the share point
directory and imported, you are prompted to add the new files to the share point
directory. If you do so, the .QUE file for that package is reset and you must re-import
the package in Software Manager. If you have already detected conflicts for that
package, you must also redo the conflict detection process.
To add files from Installation Expert
1.
Select Installation Expert > Files or Web Files page.
2.
From Current Feature, select a feature or condition. (Because any item you add
must be assigned to a specific feature, you cannot add an item when All Features
is selected.)
Items that you add to a feature are installed on the destination computer only if the
feature is installed.
Items that you add to a condition are installed only if the feature is installed and the
condition is true.
3.
If the directory where the file is to be added is not listed in the lower-left list box:
a.
Select the directory under which the new directory should be created.
b.
Click New, enter a directory name, and click OK.
The directory you specify will be created on the destination computer if it does not
exist.
Note
When you add a directory, you might not see it when you select another feature
from Current Feature. To display directories for all features, mark the View
directories for all features on Files page check box in Wise Options.
4.
In the lower-left list box, select the directory to which the file will be added.
5.
In the upper list boxes, navigate to a file and double-click it or drag it to the lower-
right list box. You can select multiple files.
If you try to add files to the Destination Computer icon or the Program Files
directory, you are prompted to first create a folder to hold the files.
The file is added to the selected directory and appears in the lower-right list box.
Other dialog boxes might appear.
