Adding Files From the Wise Software Repository

Adding Files to an Installation

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. Typically, it appears when you:
Add a file to the Files or Web Files page.
Run tools that add files to an installation. (Example: ApplicationWatch,
SetupCapture.)
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.
To add a file from the Wise Software Repository
1.
Do one of the following to display the Files in Repository dialog box:
Add files to an installation so that the dialog box appears automatically.
In Windows Installer Editor, select Tools > Check Repository Files.
2.

The file's source path is set to the same location as the version in the Wise Software
Repository. You can see the source path on the File Details dialog box > General tab.
To hide this dialog box in the future
From Show this Dialog, select Hide. This turns the dialog box off for all instances in
which it would normally appear.
To make the dialog box appear again, click the Prompts tab in Wise Options and activate
the dialog box.
