Creating an InstallShield Editor Template to Use Within Repackager
AdminStudio 11.5 | Repackager
One of the main reasons you use AdminStudio is to significantly reduce the time it takes to package an application for deployment. You can use the following procedure to speed up the packaging process even more.
You can create an InstallShield Editor template that you can use within the Repackager interface to save additional time when customizing a package. By using this template, all future InstallShield Editor .ism project files generated by Repackager will contain the company-specific default settings that were specified in the template. Using a template is also beneficial for organizations with multiple packagers, since it helps enforce consistency by enabling all packagers to make the same standard customizations to packages.
To create an InstallShield Editor template to use within Repackager, perform the following steps.

From within the Repackager interface, you can start using this customized template by selecting the Use a customized template option in the Repackaged Output view, and selecting the InstallShield Editor template that you just created. |
