Setting Directories to Watch

Wise Package Studio Reference
Convert registry entries into advertising info
Try to create a package that supports advertising. SetupCapture will convert
registry entries to advertising information. It converts only those registry
entries that are considered to be advertising information. The registry entries
themselves are not added to the package.
Convert registry entries and retain registry information
Try to create a package that is accurate and supports advertising. SetupCapture
will convert registry entries to advertising information, but it will also leave
them as registry entries. This means that the installation instructions for these
items exist twice in the Windows Installer package, but in different tables. This
option might cause the application to constantly prompt the end user to perform
a repair installation.
Capture Methodology
SetupCapture can use different methods for capturing the information from an
installation.
See Selecting the Capture Methodology
Windows Installer Template
(SetupCapture Configuration only.)
This field lists the templates in the Windows Installer Editor\Templates directory.
Select the template to use as a basis for captured Windows Installer packages.
WiseScript Template
(SetupCapture Configuration only.)
(Not available in Standard Edition.)
This field lists the templates in the WiseScript Editor\Templates directory. Select the
template to use as a basis for captured WiseScript packages.
Installation Changes Report
Specify whether to generate a report after each SetupCapture, and the report
format. The items in the report comprise the repackaged installation. The report has
the same file name and is created in the same directory as the repackaged
installation created by SetupCapture.
This option is unrelated to the View Report button on the SetupCapture Inclusions/
Exclusions dialog boxes, which generates a temporary report regardless of what you
select here.
Setting directories to watch is an important part of using SetupCapture. The directories
you specify are scanned for changes, and the changes are incorporated into the
repackaged installation.
The directories you specify are also used by the exclusion list building process.
See Building an Exclusion List Automatically
SmartMonitor monitors all local directories, regardless of what is specified in Directories
to Watch.
Deciding which directories to watch
At a minimum, specify \Program Files and \Windows or \Winnt. These are the most
common directories in which changes occur during installation of applications.
