Workflow Selection Panel

From the Workflow Selection panel, you can specify the workflow on which you want to base this project. Available

workflows appear in the workflows window.

Select the workflow you want to use, and provide the name for the new project (which is stored in the ProjectName

predefined variable).

From the Source Package panel, you can specify the name and location of the source package used in this

workflow. If you are creating a repackaging project, this is usually an executable, such as Setup.exe. The source

package name and location is stored in the predefined variable SourcePackage.

You must specify the name and location of a source package if it is required in the workflow (by using the

SourcePackage variable). For example, if the workflow specifies to launch a package with certain command-line

parameters, AdminStudio needs to know what package to launch.

Source packages can also be non-setup files. For example, if you are creating a simple workflow that involves

editing a Notepad file, the source package may be a .txt file.

From the Target Directory and File Name panel, specify the Target Directory and Target File Name used in

this project.

All output files (such as an INC file from Repackager or an MST file from Tuner) associated with the project will be

stored in the Target Directory, and the value for this directory can include a predefined variable such as

appropriate extension appended to it depending on the file type. The Target Directory is stored in the predefined

variable TargetDir and the output file name is stored in the variable

If any workflow tasks use the TargetDir or TargetFileName variables, you must specify the target directory

and package name. For example, if the workflow specifies to save a task's output, AdminStudio needs to know

where to save it and what to call it.

Click Finish to close the Wizard.

. The Target File Name is the name used for all files created by project tasks in this project, with the

TargetFileName
