2. Exclusion, Template and Macros Configuration

2.1 Managing Exclusion

When a MSI is created using the snapshot capture method, pollution is generated (unwanted files, registry…)

Some of these unwanted elements are excluded automatically by the tool after the capture.

It’s possible to add or remove automatic exclusion using the file Repackage.ini, located at the root of the “Wise Share Point” folder (on the server).

So, you can create your own Repackage.ini file and copy or replace it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Wise Package Studio.

2.2 Windows Installer Template

When a MSI is created using the snapshot capture method, a template can be used to set automaticaly some settings (custom features, components, registry, settings…).

This template must be a WSI file and must be copied in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Wise Package Studio\Templates.
