|
Captured Data File |

|
Registry Data File |

The Exclusions tab allows you to select an exclusion file to use as a filter when importing captured data into a Repackager project.
Select one of the following options for the configuration file:
|
Option |
Description |
|
Do not use any external configuration |
Repackager will import all captured data into the Repackager project. |
|
Use settings from the shared location |
Repackager will use the settings contained in isRepackager.ini in the AdminStudio Shared directory (configured during installation). Use this option when you are working in a team environment where the exclusion list needs to be stored in a centralized location. |
|
Use settings from InstallShield defaults |
Repackager will use the settings contained in the default.ini file in the Repackager folder. These are the InstallShield Editor-recommended exclusions. It is recommended that you do not modify these exclusions so you can return to them if you need to restart your exclusion list. |
|
Edit |
Click to open the Exclusions Editor, which you can use to exclude files, registry entries, .ini files, or shortcuts from the Repackager project. See Configuring Exclusions Using the Exclusions Editor and Exclusions Editor Interface for more information. |
|
Use settings from a custom file |
Specify or browse to a file created with the Exclusions Editor that you want to use as your filter during conversion to a Repackager project. You would create a custom exclusion file based upon your company's requirements. |
Caution:Using the custom settings option, it is possible to use the local settings file (isRepackager.ini) in the Windows directory. This file is also used for default exclusions for the Repackaging Wizard. By modifying this file, you introduce the possibility of excluding data at repackaging time in subsequent Repackaging Wizard executions, as opposed to marking items as excluded in a Repackager project (which does not affect the captured data). For this reason, it is highly recommended that you do not use the isRepackager.ini configuration file in the local Windows folder for your Repackager exclusions.
