In this tab you can specify some settings that will be used when the installation capture results will be imported into an Advanced Installer project.
Options
Import INI files in Windows Installer format
If this option is enabled the INI files will not be added as regular files during import, but as Windows Installer entities. They will be imported in the IniTable.
Import shortcut files in Windows Installer format
If this option is enabled the shortcut files (.lnk) will not be added as regular files during import, but as Windows Installer entities. They will be imported in the ShorcutTable.
Prompt and wait after installing the package
If this option is enabled, after the package installation is completed you will be prompted to resume the installation capture process. This option will allow you to repackage multiple installations into a single package, install updates for the application or slipstream service packs into the new setup.
Interpret captured raw data
This group filters Advanced Installer's interpretation of captured resources to include them as project elements instead of regular resources. Registry entries and files, which are the usual captured resources, will be converted and added in the appropriate page of your project. For example if you enable “Services” option, the captured resources that match the pattern will be included as configured service entries in the Services page.
The recognizable project elements are:
- Services
- Drivers
- Environment Variables
- Scheduled Tasks
- File Associations
- Assemblies
- Windows Firewall Settings
These settings can be modified at any time, even after the
installation capture has been completed by accessing this dialog from
the Advanced Installer “Tools > Repackager” menu before importing an
existing installation capture file (.rpk).
