Set Package Name Command

Command Syntax

/SetPackageName   <file_path>
                  { [-buildname <build_name>] | [-configuration <configuration_name>] }

Two outcomes are possible:

If only the package name is sent as argument this command will rename the package without changing the Parent Directory path.

AdvancedInstaller.com /edit MyProject.aip
    /SetPackageName MyPackage.msi -buildname DefaultBuild

If a full path pointing at the package is received as argument, this command will rename the package and will set the Parent Directory path pointing to the newly received location.

AdvancedInstaller.com /edit MyProject.aip
/SetPackageName C:\MyFolder\MyPackage.msi -buildname DefaultBuild

In this case, the Parent Directory path will point to "C:\MyFolder".

Parameters:

[-buildname <build_name>]
The package name will be set for this build.
[-configuration <configuration_name>]
For WinCE project only. The package name will be set for this configuration.

If the project uses an EXE bootstrapper, the /SetPackageName command can set its name. The command which sets the bootstrapper name looks like this:

AdvancedInstaller.com /edit MyProject.aip
    /SetPackageName MyPackage.exe -buildname DefaultBuild

If the project is WinCE project the /SetPackageName command looks like this:

AdvancedInstaller.com /edit MyProject.aip
    /SetPackageName MyPackage.cab -configuration Default
