Managing Wizard Scripts

See Also

When you work in the Package and Deployment Wizard, you can create and store scripts. A script is a record of the selections you made in a packaging or deployment session. Creating a script retains these selections so you can apply them to future sessions in the wizard for the same project. Using scripts can save you significant time in your packaging and deployment sessions.

Each time you package or deploy a project, the wizard stores information about that session as a script. You can view the full list of scripts for the current project by using the Manage Scripts option in the Package and Deployment Wizard. This option lets you:

• View a list of all packaging or deployment scripts.
  
  
• Rename a script.
  
  
• Create a copy of a script with a new name.
  
  
• Delete a script you no longer need.

Caution   If you remove a packaging script, the deployment portion of the Package and Deployment Wizard will no longer recognize the package created from that script as one that it can deploy. You will then have to repackage the file in order to be able to deploy it. Delete only those scripts you are certain you no longer need.

To view a list of scripts

1. Access the Visual Basic Editor from the Office product in which you created the component.
   
   
2. Launch the Package and Deployment Wizard from the Add-Ins menu.

   Tip   If you have not previously run the Pacskage and Deployment Wizard, you may need to access the Add-Ins Manager to make it appear on the Add-Ins menu. Start the Add-Ins Manager, then select the Package and Deployment Wizard, and select the Loaded\Unloaded option. For more information, see Accessing Office 2000 Developer Tools.

3. On the main screen of the wizard, click Manage Scripts.
   
   
4. Choose the appropriate panel for the scripts you want to view.
