Adding Source Locations
You can define new source locations for a product at any time, using the Media Location Manager dialog box. You can also add source locations using the command line. For more information, see Managing Source Locations Using the Command Line.
To add a source location using the Media Location Manager dialog box:
- On the Windows Start menu, navigate to the Hummingbird Connectivity program group, point to Administrative Tools, and click Media Location Manager. The Media Location Manager dialog box opens.
- In the Installed Products list, select the product for which you want to manage source locations. Existing source locations for the product are displayed in the Source Information list.
- Click Add. The Add Source dialog box opens.
- In the dialog box, specify the following, as required:
- If necessary, click More to specify the context in which the product was installed on your machine, by doing the following:
Note:
This button is available only if Windows Installer 3.0 is installed on your machine. - In the Username or Sid box, type the appropriate user name or SID. This identifies the user account with which the product was installed on your machine.
- If necessary, in the Index box, specify the index that you want associated with the source location. If you do not specify an index, Media Location Manager automatically assigns one according to the order in which the source location is added.
- In the Installed Context area, specify the context in which the product was installed on your machine: Per-User Managed, Per-User UnManaged, or Per-Machine (this is the default value).
- Click OK.
The source location is automatically saved and assigned an index number, which reflects the order in which the source location was added. Windows Installer searches source locations based on this number. All changes are displayed in the Source Information list of the Media Location Manager dialog box.
