WDInst: manage files to be installed
The setup editor WDInst is used to manage the files to install: The files to install are managed in the setup editor WDInst. To start WDInst, go to the "Tools" tab, "Utilities" group and click "WDInst". The WDInst installation editor offers advanced management of the files to be installed, compared with the wizard used to create the installation program. Viewing the list of files to install The files to install can be viewed in the "List of setup files" window of WDInst.
Two types of files are displayed in this list: - Individual files. The file is defined by its full name (name and extension) on the development computer. This file will be included in the setup program (if it is found in the source directory during the generation).
- Generic files. The name of the file contains wildcard characters (*,?). All the files found in the source directory and corresponding to this filter will be included in the setup program during the generation.
For example:
To view the files associated with a group of files, select the requested group in the "Displayed group" combo box. Sort the list of files to install To sort the list of files to install, click the header of the column corresponding to the sort criterion (file name, source directory, destination directory, ...). Modifying the destination directory of a file found in the list of files to install The destination directory corresponds to the directory in which the file will be installed. To define the destination directory, the following keywords can be used: - <RepInst>: installation directory chosen by the user during installation.
- <LectInst>: reader of the installation directory chosen by the user during installation.
- <FicInst>: directory for data file installation. WDInst is used to configure this directory. For more details, see Configuring the data file directory.
