Using the Setup Intent Wizard to Detect File Dependencies in a Repackager Project
AdminStudio 2021 R2 SP1 | 22.01 | Repackager
Edition:This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
Although an installation may have intended to install certain files, these files sometimes may not be installed—often because the files already exist on the target machine (either as the same version or a newer version). These files, although not installed or updated, are needed for the product to execute properly when the setup is run on a system that does not already have these files.
You can use the Setup Intent Wizard to detect file dependencies that may not be included in your Repackager project (.irp). The Setup Intent Wizard scans a setup to identify files that may not have been captured during repackaging—effectively recognizing the installation’s intent for these files.
To use the Setup Intent Wizard, perform the following steps:
To detect file dependencies:
1. | From the Project menu, select Setup Intent Wizard. The Welcome Panel opens. |
2. | From the Welcome panel, click Next. The Scanning Project Panel opens. |
3. | Once scanning is finished, the Results Panel opens, listing new files that your setup requires. |
4. | From the Results Panel, select the files you want added to your Repackager project and click Finish. |
5. | Save your Repackager project. |
Note:Because the Setup Intent Wizard analyzes files in the Repackager project and searches for dependent files, you must run the Setup Intent Wizard from the same machine where repackaging was performed (with the Repackaging Wizard). You can then save the Repackager project and transfer it to another machine.
