Controlling the Template Database on Install

When HyperSizer is installed, by default HyperSizer will install a template database on the user's computer. However, in a team environment, you might wish to exclude the default template database and instead point users to a custom template database in a shared location.

How to configure the template database location on install

Create the custom template database.
1. As the HyperSizer Admin, create a template database. See Creating a Template Database.
2. Place the modified template database in a shared (server) location that is accessible to the team. Point your machine to the new location using the HyperSizer Options form. See HyperSizer Options.
Customize the installer.
1. Configure the HyperSizer MSI installer to exclude the default template database when installing.
  Create the config.xml file and set the INSTALLDATABASEFILES option to "FALSE". See Configuring the Installer.
2. Set the following registry setting to the folder location of the custom template database.
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\HyperSizer\Project\Template Folder

Steps 2a and 2b can be incorporated into a custom install process. If the registry setting is not set on install, users can manually set the database template folder using the HyperSizer Options form. See HyperSizer Options.
