Adding Files From The Wise Software Repository - Symantec WISE PACKAGE STUDIO 8.0 - REFERENCE V1.0 Reference

Adding Files From the Wise Software Repository

Wise Package Studio Reference
Not available in Standard Edition.
The Files in Repository dialog box appears when a file that is used by a package in the
Wise Software Repository is added to an installation. It might appear when you use
SetupCapture, Legacy Setup Conversion, or ApplicationWatch. The Files in Repository
dialog box lets you add the version of the file that is in the repository, which ensures
that you use the correct versions of file resources in applications you develop.
Example: An approved version of the file Sample.dll is stored in the Wise Software
Repository and is used by several packages in the Software Manager database. When
you add Sample.dll to an installation, you can select the version in the repository as the
source for the file.
When you capture a large application with many files, the repository check can slow
SetupCapture considerably. Therefore, you can disable this feature in SetupCapture.
Clear the Enable checking of files against Wise Software Repository check box in
the General Settings of SetupCapture Configuration.
