Refactor Paths

The Refactor Paths tool helps you stay on top of the changing folder structures of your application. This tool investigates your setup commands for embedded path values. It parses all the paths used by your setup and displays the common locations in an Analysis view. You may then update your paths with new values in one pass.

  1. On the Project tab, in the Manage group, click File Paths.
  2. Review the Analysis listing, which displays each path that has been found to be in use by your setup.
  3. If you would like to update a path, first click the path to update from the Analysis listing. Then type in the new path into the New Path field, or click Browse to visually locate the new path. Remember to click Replace and finalize your new path selection.
  4. If you would like to prevent updating a path that is displayed, click the path from the Analysis listing, then click Delete. Note that this procedure does not delete paths from your setup script - it simply removes them from the Analysis listing of the Refactor Paths tool.
  5. When you are ready to apply changes to your setup script, click OK. None of your changes are actually applied to the setup script until you click OK. If you would like to exit the tool without making any changes, click Cancel.

 Notes

  • This tool can also update URL (Internet) and UNC (network) paths used in your setup script.
