Setting Repository Options

Windows Installer Editor Reference
Use the Repository tab on the Wise Options dialog box to:
(Client installations only.) Connect to a different Wise Software Repository (the
share point directory and any databases associated with it).
Changing the share point directory or a specific path does not copy resources to the
new location. Typically, you will specify a share point or path that is already in use.
Specify the directories that contain shared resources that are used to create and
edit Windows Installer installations. Typically, you will use the default locations, but
you can set individual share locations for specific resources.
See
Installation Resources and Their Locations
To connect to a different repository
(Client installations only.) You can connect to a different repository by specifying the
share point that is associated with it.
When you change the default share point, you are logged off and prompted to log on.
Because serial numbers and license assignments are stored in the Workbench database,
you must have a different license assignment in the Workbench database that you
change to.
