Change Set Settings

Specify the location of the text file (that is, any non-binary file, such as a .txt, .htm, .xml, .config, .ini, or .sql file) on the target system. Instead of entering a hard-coded path, you can select a Windows Installer folder property from the list.

Tip • Do not separate subfolders from the folder property with a backslash, but separate further levels of subfolders with a backslash—for example, [ProgramFilesFolder]MyCompany\Subdirectory.

Specify the file or files that you want to be excluded from the search. Separate multiple files with a semicolon (;).

To indicate a wild-card character, use an asterisk (*). For example, if you want to exclude all .htm and .html files in the specified directory, enter the following:

*.htm;.html

Tip • You can use Windows Installer public properties to specify the names of the text files that you want to include in or exclude from your search. This enables you to use data that end users enter in dialogs, or other configuration information that is determined at run time, when your product’s text files are modified at run time. To learn more, see Using Windows Installer Properties to Dynamically Modify Text Files.

Specify whether you want the search-and-replace behavior to occur when the change set’s component is installed on the target system.
