Package.ini File Structure

The structure of the Package.ini file includes sections that apply to all applications or individual applications.

Most parameters must appear under a specific section heading. The Package.ini file contains the following headings:

  • [BuildOptions]

    The [BuildOptions] section of the Package.ini file applies to all applications. Individual applications inherit these parameters unless application-specific entries override the settings. For example, the [Adobe Reader 8.exe] section of the Package.ini file for an Adobe Reader application might have settings that override the larger [BuildOptions] parameters. The application-specific parameters show the application entry points that you create during the build process.

  • [<application>.exe]

  • [FileList]

    The [FileList] parameters act as [BuildOptions] parameters. They are grouped separately from other [BuildOptions] parameters for backward compatibility reasons. You can add the [FileList] heading manually to the file when you add the ExcludePattern parameter.

  • [Compression]

    The [Compression] parameters act as [BuildOptions] parameters. They are grouped separately from other [BuildOptions] parameters for backward compatibility reasons.

  • [Isolation]

    The [Isolation] parameters act as [BuildOptions] parameters, They are grouped separately from other [BuildOptions] parameters for backward compatibility reasons.
