question re: build server
Hello,
I'm trying to move my build process onto a build server that doesn't have the full IS 2008 installed. (Standalone build is installed)
My question is how/where do I specify the various resources my build uses. For instance, I have a custom theme, and I would like to have it in a central location on the build server... where can I specify this path change in the ism to ensure it builds on the build server? Given that thte program files/macrovision/is2008/support/themes folder isn't there. I want to move it into a folder like c:\build_resources on the server.
Thanks,
Mike

Maybe that question wasn't too clear.
How do I change the path that IS looks for the custom theme from c:\program files\macrovision\is2008\support\themes to a different path?
Is the only way to go into Direct Editor and find where this path is referenced and change it?
Thanks again,
Mike

The theme should only be referenced in the InstallShield table if you need to tweak it with the direct editor. I believe that the themes are in a similar location on a SAB install, i.e. the Support/Themes subfolder of the SAB. The builtin ones should already be there, so will adding yours there work for you?

I see the ISTheme property in the Installshield table however I don't see anywhere in the .ism where I can change the path to where to find the .theme file... Or do I need to just change it there and hardcode the path to the .theme file?
I'd like to keep the files centrally located in a folder to make managing it with subversion and nant across the multiple boxes simpler..

Just an update, I changed the path to the .theme file in the table and that worked great.
Now all my resources are pulled from one spot and makes deployment to build server a snap.
Much appreciate the help, MichaelU!
Edit: Eh, apparently I spoke too soon. The build is still trying to find the theme files (i.e. setup.gif) in the normal Macrovision path...
Any other suggestions about where I can change this?
Thanks again,
Mike

Can you put the fuller path in the custom theme file? I haven't tested or checked the code to verify that would work, but I'd hope it was as flexible there as it was for the theme location...
