Reference System Configuration › Reference System Settings

Reference System Settings

You can modify the Packager's reference system settings by using the Configure Reference System dialog available from the File menu. Set the options on this dialog to maintain the reference system.

The tabs on the Configure Reference System dialog let you modify the following reference system settings:

• Paths to scan
• Paths to exclude
• Keys to scan
• Keys to exclude
• Expandable registry values
• ASCII files
• Defaults
• Backup files
• Product files filter

When you click OK on the Configure Reference System dialog, all changes on all tabs are applied. When you click Apply, only the values for the current tab are saved if they have been modified. After you click Apply, you cannot cancel the changes by clicking Cancel.

For some tabs, you can set a recursive option, represented by a folder symbol with the letter r. Gray folder symbols indicate defaults that cannot be changed. Yellow folder symbols contain either defaults or values you have already set that can be changed again if necessary.
