Options for saving the clean build
You set clean build options per release, which means you can have a different clean build
location for each release.
Check the clean build into a source code control system (SCCS). Every time you
generate a clean build, any files in the installation that changed are checked into the
SCCS. This provides a history of versions of the installation and lets you recreate a
build at any stage in its development process.
Save the clean build to any network directory. Every time you generate a clean
build, the necessary files are recopied to the directory, overwriting previous
versions. Do this if you do not need to recreate older builds.
Requirements
The build computer must have Windows Installer installed in order to compile the
final build. Version 2.0 or later is preferred because some advanced features are not
supported in earlier versions.
To use the source control option, you must have an SCCS installed on your local
computer. You cannot be running an SCCS from a network.
To create a clean build in source control
1. (Wise editor only.) Select Tools menu > Options. On the Source Control tab, mark
Enable source control and click OK.
This check box appears only if a locally-installed SCCS is detected on your computer.
2. Select Installation Expert > Clean Build page.
3. From Current Release, select a release.
4. Mark Store clean build in source control. This is unavailable if source control is
not enabled in options. (In Visual Studio: this is unavailable if an SCCS is not
installed locally.)
5. Click Browse under the Store clean build in source control option and specify
where in the SCCS to store the project. Dialog boxes from your SCCS lead you
through this process.
In the Wise editor: If you are using the Source Control menu for version control
on the entire installation, select a different folder in source control to store the
clean build.
In Visual Studio: If you are already storing the installation project in source
control, select a different folder in source control to store the clean build.
This completes the setup portion of the clean build process. Complete the following
steps when you are ready to copy the clean build to the clean build environment.
6. To make the final build, select File menu > Update Clean Build. (In Visual Studio:
Project menu > Update Clean Build.) This is unavailable if no clean build options are
set for any release.
The new or updated files are checked into your SCCS.
7. From your SCCS, copy or get the clean build folder to your clean build computer.
8. From the clean build folder on the clean build computer, double-click the file
Wisebuild.exe, which silently compiles the build.
