AdminStudio 2014 | Repackager
If you are repackaging an InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation, you can use the InstallShield Professional Logging Method to read logged output of those setups to obtain additional information that would not be captured by the Installation Monitoring or Snapshot methods: Path Variables and the Feature Tree.
See InstallShield Professional Logging Method for more information.
Using the InstallShield Professional Logging Method
To repackage an InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation using the InstallShield Professional Logging Method, perform the following steps:
To repackage using the InstallShield Professional Logging Method:
| 1. | Launch the Repackaging Wizard from Repackager. The Welcome Panel opens. |
| 2. | Click Next. The Method Selection Panel opens. |
| 3. | Select the InstallationMonitoring method. |
The InstallShield Professional Logging Method is not offered as a choice on this panel, but when you select an InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation on the Collect Product Information Panel (the next panel in the Repackaging Wizard), Repackager will automatically detect the InstallScript installation and will display the InstallShield Professional Setup Panel. On this panel you can choose to use the InstallShield Professional Logging Method instead of the method you chose on the Method Selection Panel.
Caution: When you are attempting to repackage a setup using the InstallShield Professional Logging Method, you are permitted to select either Installation Monitoring or Snapshot on the Method Selection Panel, but it is recommended that you select Installation Monitoring.
If you select the Snapshot method, an additional panel opens, entitled Snapshot Method. On this panel, if you select Multiple Steps instead of Single Step, Repackager will not recognize the setup as an InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation and the InstallShield Professional Setup Panel will not open. You can avoid this extra and possibly troublesome step by selecting Installation Monitoring on the Method Selection Panel.
| 4. | On the Method Selection Panel, click Next. The Collect Product Information Panel opens. |
Caution: Do not use the Edit Setup List link to add an additional setup program to this project. If you do, Repackager will not recognize the specified installation as an InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation and the InstallShield Professional Setup Panel will not open.
| 5. | Click the Browse () button next to the Program File field and select the InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation that you are repackaging. |
| 6. | In the Command-line Argument(s) field, enter any command-line arguments to be used when the installation is run. |
| 7. | In the Product Information area, modify the Product Name, Version, and Company Name, as necessary. |
| 8. | If you want to associate websites with this installation package, perform the following steps: |
| a. | Click the More link. The Additional Product Information dialog box opens. |
| b. | Enter the Product URL and Support URL for the application you are repackaging. |
| c. | Click OK. |
| 9. | Click Next. Because you specified an InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation in the Program File field, the InstallShield Professional Setup Panel opens. |
| 10. | Select the Use InstallShield Professional logging instead of repackaging option. |
| 11. | Click Next. The Set Target Project Information and Capture Settings Panel opens. |
| 12. | Click the Browse () button next to the Project path to store files field and select the directory where you want the Repackaging Wizard to place its output, including the Repackager project file (.irp), the Repackaging Wizard output files, and source files. |
You can also enter the name of a new folder in the Project path to store files field, and you will be prompted to create it when you exit this panel.
| 13. | To begin the repackaging process, click Start on the Set Target Project Information and Capture Settings Panel. The selected InstallShield Editor or DevStudio 9.x InstallScript installation is launched. |
| 14. | Follow the prompts until the installation has completed. |
Repackager then launches and opens the Repackager project file (*.irp) that you just created.
| 15. | Continue with the instructions in Working With Repackager Projects. |
