Remediation
When reindexing or publishing, use the fully qualified
path to the root of the repository. For example, when
publishing a package: C:\Repository>"C:\Program
Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Package Studio\hive.exe"
publish "c:\Repository\internetexplorer_8.0_x86.crate"
crates\i <platform> {<section>}.
Remediation
1. If it is not installed, install the repository,.
2. Open the PackageStudio.exe.config file with a text
editing application. The default location is C:\Program
Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Package Studio.
1. Modify the RepositorySpecification entry to a point to
a valid repository path. Example below.
<Hive>
<Repositories>
<!--This is a list of the hive
repositories on this server and their
location-->
<RepositorySpecification name="default"
localPath="C:\Program
Files\VMware\VCM\Tools\Repository\">
</Repositories>
</Hive>
