Configuring the automatic modification of data files
Overview
The automatic data file modification updates the description of data files on user computers.
For more details, see Automatic data file modification.
Configuring the automatic data modification with the wizard
To configure the automatic data modification with the wizard, select the application (.exe file) for which you want to run the modification.
If the data files are password-protected, or if they are in an HFSQL Client/Server database, you will need to specify the passwords:
  1. Click the "Advanced" button.
  2. Select the analysis in WINDEV format (".WDD" file) associated with the application.
  3. If necessary, specify the following for each file in the analysis:
    • the password of the file (if any) in the analysis.
      Remark: To change this password, select "Change password" and enter the new password.
    • if the application uses a WINDEV 5.5 analysis that was migrated, specify:
      • the source analysis in WINDEV 5.5 format (".WDA" file).
      • the name of the file in the analysis in WINDEV 5.5 format.
      • the file password (if it exists) in the analysis in WINDEV 5.5 format.
This information (except for the passwords) is automatically displayed.
Remarks:
  • During the update, the data files automatically found are:
    • the files found in the setup directory of the application.
    • the files listed in the ".REP" file. For more details, see the help about the management of .REP files.
  • The wizard suggests running a "silent" automatic data modification: no configuration window will be shown to the end user.
  • To allow the user to configure the automatic modification, you can use WDInst to include the "Advanced options" button in the setup program.
Minimum version required
  • Version 9
