Isolation Options Dialog Box
AdminStudio 2022 | 23.0 | Repackager
Edition:This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
Application isolation reduces versioning conflicts by modifying an application so it always loads the versions of components—such as DLLs—with which it was originally developed and tested.
On the Isolation Options dialog box, which is opened by selecting Isolation Options from the Tools menu, you can specify the following Repackager isolation options:
| • | Assembly Options—Specify the type of assemblies Repackager will create, and the assembly naming conventions. See Manifest Options Tab |
| • | Digital Signature Options—Configure the certificate information required when using shared assemblies. See Digital Signature Tab. |
Note:The modifications you make on the Isolation Options dialog box will be recorded in the isolationconfig.ini file, which is stored in the AdminStudio Shared directory.
The Manifest Options tab allows you to configure several settings associated with manifests. The following settings are included:

Caution:If you are creating assemblies for applications files within multiple components, this option must be selected for successful application isolation. |
On the Digital Signature tab, you can configure the certificate information required when using shared assemblies.This required digital signature provides an extra layer of protection, allowing you to obtain information about the company who created a global assembly.
Caution:Repackager uses timestamping when signing global assemblies. Consequently, you must have an Internet connection on the computer when you create a global assembly.
