About Installation Expert
Before you distribute a virtual runtime archive file (.VRA) to end users, you must create
a release for the archive file. The release consists of a WiseScript .EXE wrapper that
contains the logic needed to properly install the Virtual Software Package (VSP). This
WiseScript also installs the logic that lets the end user repair or remove the VSP from
Add/Remove Programs. You can also edit the WiseScript to add additional functionality.

To create a new release
1.
In Installation Expert, select the Releases page.
2.
Click Add.
If you have not yet saved the project as a .WVP file, you are prompted to save it.
You must save the project before you can add a release.
The Release Details dialog box appears.
3.
Edit the default settings of the Release Details dialog box as needed.
Release Name
The default name of the release is the name of the .WVP file with Setup
appended. If the name contains spaces, then a space appears before Setup.
This name identifies this script on the Releases page. If you change the default
name of a new release, the name of the installation script file (.WSE) is also
changed accordingly. If you change the name of a previously created release,
the name of the installation script file does not change.
Installation Script File
The default location of the installation script file (.WSE) is the same directory as
the .WVP file. We recommend that you do not change the default location of the
.WSE file. If you keep the .WVP file and its .WSE file in the same directory, you
can then move the installation files without losing any functionality. If you do
move the .WSE file, use the browse button to specify it.
By default the .WSE file has the same name as the name of the release. When
the .WSE file is compiled, the resulting WiseScript .EXE also has this name.
Install SVS Driver
This option installs the SVS Driver runtime (an unlicensed version of the driver)
on the end user's computer if a compatible version of the driver is not found. An
SVS Driver is required on the end user's computer in order to import and
activate the .VRA file.
