Prerequisite Repository

After creating a new prerequisite you have the possibility to save that prerequisite so that you can use it in another project. The prerequisite is saved in the Prerequisites Repository. The path of this folder on Windows XP is:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Caphyon\Advanced Installer\Repository\Prerequisites

and on Windows Vista it is:

C:\ProgramData\Caphyon\Advanced Installer\Repository\Prerequisites

There are several operations that involve the Prerequisites Repository:

• Export a prerequisite from the project to the repository.
• Import a prerequisite from the repository to the project.

Prerequisite Export

When a prerequisite from the project is exported, in the Repository directory a new folder is created (its name it is computed starting from the display name of the prerequisite) that has the same name as the dialog is created. This new folder will contain an AIP file that contains the prerequisite details and all the files referred by that prerequisite (if any).

In order to export a prerequisite in repository it must be included in all builds. This is because builds are project dependent and in repository can not be saved something related to a specific project.

Prerequisite Import

When importing a prerequisite from the repository to the project it will be added the last in the prerequisites list.
