Running the Repackaging Wizard Remotely

FLEXnet AdminStudio 7.5 » Repackager

For optimal performance and repackaging integrity, you should only repackage on a clean system, and you should run Repackager remotely from a mapped drive. This minimizes unwanted data capture during repackaging.

Configuring Repackager to Run from a Network Location

To map the network location of Repackager, perform the following steps.

To configure Repackager to run from a network location:

  1. On a production machine that does not contain FLEXnet AdminStudio, download and install the standalone version of Repackager 7.5. (You will not repackage legacy setups on this machine.) To download the Repackager installation setup, go to the following URL:

    2. http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?pcode=ALL&articleid=Q108601

    When installation is complete, the Repackager executable will be located in the following directory:

    AdminStudio Installation Directory\Repackager\islc.exe

  2. Share the Repackager directory on the production machine so it can be accessed from the network. This can be done by right-clicking the directory in Windows Explorer and selecting Sharing from the context menu.
  3. Configure sharing rights as necessary. Click OK to close the dialog box.
  4. From your clean system where you will repackage legacy setups, launch Windows Explorer and select Map Network Drive from the Tools menu.
  5. Specify the drive letter you want use to represent the shared location.
  6. Click Browse and locate the directory you shared from the production machine. Click OK once you select the folder.
  7. Click Finish to exit the Map Network Drive Wizard.

Using Windows Explorer to Access Repackager

After you have mapped the network location, you can access Repackager using Windows Explorer.

  2. Navigate to the drive mapped to the shared Repackager directory on your production machine.

  4. Run the Repackaging Wizard to begin repackaging your legacy setup.

Note

Set the Repackaging Wizard output location to a shared directory on the production machine to ensure output files are written to the network rather than to the clean system.
