Specifying Installation File Settings

WiseScript Package Editor Reference
WiseScript Package Editor only
1. Select Installation Expert > Files page.
2. In the lower-right list box, select a file or files and click Details.
If you selected a single file, the Install File Settings dialog box appears. If you
selected multiple files, the Multiple File Settings dialog box appears.
3. Complete the dialog box:
Source Pathname
Specify the path of the file on your computer.
Destination Pathname
Specify the path the file will have on the destination computer. Use variables to
start the path (example: %MAINDIR%\Dev\File.txt). This field has a drop-down
list with common variables. Do not include wildcards in this field.
Description
Enter text to appear in the progress bar while this file is installed.
Require Password
If you entered a password on the Password page, and you mark this, the end
user is prompted for the password before this file is installed.
The password prompt appears only once, for the first password-protected file in
an installation, regardless of the number of password-protected files. If no
password-protected files are slated for installation, the prompt does not appear.
Include Sub-Directories
If you specify a directory in Source Pathname, mark this to include all
subdirectories and their contents.
Shared DLL Counter
If this is marked, and the file is a .DLL or .VBX, Windows tracks the file to
prevent its removal if an installed application is still using it.
No Progress Bar
To hide the progress bar, mark this for every file in the installation. If you mark
it for some files, but not others, the progress bar seems to display continuously
because the screen does not refresh between files.
Self-Register OCX/DLL/EXE/TLB
All .OCXs and .TLBs and some .DLLs and .EXEs support self-registration. Mark
this so the file registers itself in the Windows registry before it is used.
Do Not Download With WebDeploy
This check box is available if you click Complete support for Internet-based
installation on the WebDeploy page. In an Internet-based installation, files are
stored as separate files in the same directory as the installation .EXE on the
Web server and are downloaded only as they are needed.
Mark this check box to put the file in the installation .EXE rather than storing it
as a separate file.
Repair application if this file is missing
Mark this to start self-repair if this file is missing when the application starts.
This prevents your application from failing if this file is accidently deleted.
