Description
The Migrate distribution options as individual actions
option lets you migrate the distribution options in
applications as individual actions such as Edit INI action,
Registry Edit action, or Run Script action that can be
edited. By default, it is selected. Deselect the Migrate
distribution options as individual actions option to
migrate the distribution options in applications as MSI.
If the Migrate distribution options as individual actions
option is enabled, then the applications are migrated as
bundles with specific actions:
An application having Registry changes is
migrated as a bundle with Registry Edit action.
An application having INI settings is migrated as a
bundle with Edit INI File action.
An application having Text file changes is migrated
as a bundle with an Edit Text File action.
An application having icons or shortcuts is
migrated as a Windows bundle with a Run Script
action or File Removal action.
An application having application files changes are
migrated as bundles with the following actions:
Files as Copy Files or Install Files action.
Directory as a Copy Directory, Install
Directory, or Create/Delete Directory action.
Deletion of files as a File Removal action
Deletion of directory as a Create/ Delete
Directory action.
If the Migrate distribution options as individual actions
option is disabled, then the application is migrated as
bundle with as Install MSI action. But, the Edit Text File
action, Copy Directory, Install Directory, File Removal
are not a part of this Install MSI action.
The Working Directory option allows you to place the
temporary migration files in a different location than the
default users %TEMP% directory. If you migrate an
application with a very deep path (greater than 256
characters), this option enables you to make the
temporary path short, such as
c:\temp
.
