Repackage installer

Hello All.

I am trying to use a capture to package an MSI.
After the capture runs and creates the project, I am noticing a lot of "junk" that I would not want to include in the package.

How do you remove the components from the feature?

Re: Repackage installer

Hi and welcome to Advanced Installer forums.

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

A non-empty component cannot be removed. So, in order to remove a component you must first remove the files it contains. You can find a component's file by simply selecting it and pressing the "F8" keyboard button.

Note that it is very recommended to start the installation capture in a clean virtual machine. Also, you can create your own profile by going in the "Application menu" -> "Options" -> "Repackager Settings" and in the left pane choose "New" from the context menu.

Let us know if this helped.

Best regards,
