Setting Repository Options
Windows Installer Editor Reference
Requires a repository connection.
Use the Repository tab on the Wise Options dialog box to specify the directories that
contain the resources that are used to create and edit Windows Installer installations.
Typically, you will use the default locations, but you can set alternate locations for
specific resources.
See
Installation Resources and Their Locations
The Repository tab displays the share point directory that is associated with the
repository, if any, with which you are connected. To connect to a Wise Software
Repository, use the Repository Client Manager.
See
Connecting to a Wise Software Repository
To change a default resource location
The resource locations are used for Windows Installer installations only.
1.
Select Tools menu > Options.
In Visual Studio: Tools menu > Options > Wise Options.
2.
On the Wise Options dialog box, click the Repository tab.
3.
Click Advanced.
4.
On the Repository Advanced Settings dialog box that appears, double-click one of
the following items and browse to a new path.
You can use the variable [WiseSharePoint] to represent the share point directory in
the following paths. You also can use the predefined variables that appear on the
Path Variables page. However, you cannot use other user-defined path variables
because they are specific to a single installation and the following paths are global
options.
Component Rules
Specify the location of ComponentRules.ini, which contains the rules that
govern how components are created in installations.
Warning
If you are sharing component rules, be careful when editing existing rule sets
because your changes will overwrite rule sets used by team members.
Custom Actions
Specify the location in which you will save files used in custom actions
(examples: WiseScripts, .DLL files, JScript files, and VBScript files) that can be
added to installations. This is the default location whenever you browse for a file
on a custom action dialog box.
Default Project Directory
Specify the default directory in which all new installations will be saved. The
default is the Projects subdirectory of the share point directory.
Note
Changes in this field do not take effect until you exit and restart the product.
