Mail server settings

SMTP Server (IP Address)

Enter the IP address of your SMTP server. This server is required to process and forward outgoing mail

Mail recipient

Enter the e-mail address of a person/list who should receive status emails about the success and/or failure of each script/program run

Client requirement

Minimal free space on target drive after installation

The *Client Requirements *area controls how much extra disk space must be left on a target computer after the installation is finished. This is important because space must still be available for temporary system files, swap disk space, user data, etc. When a finished script is run on a client computer, it starts by making sure enough space exists on the target hard drive. If there is not enough space, then the script/program will cancel the installation and generating an error message

Package Prefix

Version prefix

Set the default setting for the package eg. v

Additional folders

Folders

If a list of folders needs to be created during the generating process this setting can be used. By separating words with % more folders can be created. In this case, a Dev, a Media, and a Doc folder will be created
