Selecting the Configuration File

Setting General Settings

Wise Package Studio Reference
Configuration files control how SetupCapture and SOE Snapshot work.
You select the configuration file from:
SetupCapture or SOE Snapshot. The specified configuration file controls how
SetupCapture or SOE Snapshot works during the current session.
SetupCapture Configuration. The specified configuration file is edited or created.
Configuration files are stored as .INI files. They can be located on your local computer, in
the share point directory, or in any other directory.
Note
Only share configuration files between computers that have identical software and
hardware configurations, because exclusion lists and directories to watch are computer-
dependent.
To select a configuration file
1. On the Welcome page of SetupCapture, SOE Snapshot, or SetupCapture
Configuration, click Change. If the Change button is unavailable, you might not have
permission to change configuration settings.
See Setting SetupCapture Configuration Security
The Configuration File dialog box appears.
2. Select the location of the configuration file to use or edit.
Use configuration file on share point
Edit or use the configuration file in the share point directory. The file is named
repackage.ini. By default, it contains a recommended basic exclusion list. This
lets you share central, standardized configuration settings with coworkers. This
option might be unavailable.
See Setting SetupCapture Configuration Security
Use configuration file from the local PC
Edit or use the configuration file on the local computer. The file is named
WisePSSC.ini, located in the Windows or Winnt directory. By default, it contains
a recommended basic exclusion list. Use the local configuration file if you don't
need to share configuration settings with coworkers.
Use configuration file located in directory below
Create, edit, or use a configuration file in any directory accessible by your
computer. Specify a new or existing file name. This option offers the most
flexibility for storing and exchanging configuration files by letting you maintain
multiple configuration files that are optimized for specific purposes. Example:
You can create separate configuration files for SOE Snapshot and SetupCapture.
3. Click OK to close the Configuration File dialog box and return to the Welcome page
of SetupCapture, SOE Snapshot, or SetupCapture Configuration.
Before you run SetupCapture, edit general settings that determine what kind of
information is captured and how that information is interpreted in the repackaged
installation that results from the SetupCapture.
