Options Dialog Box

AdminStudio 2024 | 27.0 | Repackager

Edition:This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

The Options dialog box, available from the Tools menu, presents options on three tabs: Colors, Merge Modules, and Build Options.

Colors Tab

On the Colors tab, you can configure the color of scanned items and deleted items in Repackager's exclusion views (Files, .ini Files, Registry Data, and Shortcuts).

Merge Modules Tab

On the Merge Modules tab, you can specify additional directories containing custom merge modules to use during repackaging.

Build Options Tab

On the Build Options tab, you can specify whether or not you want to list ICE validation warnings in the Repackager output window during the Build process and you can set software ID tag file generation options.

The Build Options tab includes the following options:

Options Dialog Box / Build Options Tab
Option	Description
Display ICE validation Warnings	Select this option to display any ICE validation warnings that occur during the Repackager Build process. By default, this option is not selected.
Enable creation of software ID tag transforms during import and repackaging	Select to instruct AdminStudio to automatically create a transform file containing software tag file(s) for Windows Installer packages that are imported into the Application Catalog or built using Repackager. By default, this option is selected. Note:Whenever a Windows Installer package is imported into the Application Catalog or built using Repackager, AdminStudio creates a software ID tag file (which is stored in the Application Catalog), but if the Enable creation of software ID tag transforms during import and repackaging option it not selected, AdminStudio does not create the transform.
Tag Creator Name	Enter a name to identify the creator of the software ID tag files that will be created by AdminStudio. By default, the value is Flexera.
Tag Creator RegID	Enter an ID to uniquely identify the creator of the software ID tag files that will be created by AdminStudio, using the following format: regid.YYYY-MM.ReversedDomainName,optional_division For example: regid.2009-06.com.yourcompany,GlobalProductDivision By default, the value is AdminStudio’s RegID: regid.2009-06.com.flexerasoftware,AdminStudio
Delete any existing files in the build output folder without prompting	By default, Repackager will build the Repackager project’s associated Windows Installer package in a directory named MSI_Package, which is a subdirectory of the directory containing the Repackager project. If you have edited the Repackager project’s associated InstallShield Editor project to change this default location, each time you rebuild the Repackager project, Repackager will prompt you to confirm that you want to overwrite the existing files. If you are repeatedly building from the Repackager interface into the same build output folder (which is not the default MSI_Package folder) and you do not want to be prompted to confirm that you will be overwriting the existing content, then select this option to suppress the confirmation prompts.

Important:Any changes that you make to the software tagging options on the Build Options tab of the Repackager Options dialog box will also automatically be made to the options on the General Options > Import Options > Software Tagging tab of the Application Catalog Options dialog box.
