File Locations

You can change the destination folder, where your IEAK package is created, and the folder where your components are downloaded.

Destination folder
The destination folder is where the customized packages will be placed when the wizard is finished. You can create the package on your hard disk and move it to an Internet or intranet server, or you can create it on a Web server.

Subfolders for each localized version are created in the destination folder you specify for each platform and media type.

If you are creating the package on your hard disk or network drive, the recommended destination is C:\Cie\Dist. If you are creating the package on a Web server that is running from your hard disk, the destination should be the path to the Web server.

For example, if you specify your destination folder as
C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Cie\Dist,
then the English language version for Windows/NT 4.0 would be created in the
C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Cie\Dist\Download\Win32\En
folder.

Advanced Options
To customize the location and process for downloading files, or to import settings from an existing .ins file, click Advanced Options.

• Check for latest components via (AVS) Automatic Version Synchronization
  The IEAK can check on the Internet for the latest versions of components when you create your Internet Explorer package. This feature can help you detect whether new versions have become available since the last time you ran the Internet Explorer Customization wizard.

If you downloaded the IEAK from the Internet, you must run the Customization wizard with AVS at least once, so that the wizard can check for updated versions of components.

• Path of .ins file to import settings from
  

  To import settings from an existing .ins file as a starting point for a new IEAK package, enter the full path. Importing settings can save time if your new package will have similar settings. You can, however, change any settings you want.

• Component download folder
  The components and setup files that you download will be placed in the folder you specify. The Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS) feature automatically checks this folder to determine whether you have the latest components available. With AVS, you download only the components that have changed since the last time you downloaded them. It is recommended that you do not change this folder, so that you can keep the components synchronized.

You should change this folder only if you plan to retain the files you downloaded the last time you ran the wizard, and you want to download a new set of components.
