About the Wise Software Repository
The Wise Software Repository™ is a collection of resources, and information about those
resources, for all applications that are developed and used by an organization. This
scalable repository provides a centralized point for managing software packages at any
stage of development.
You can connect to a Wise Software Repository that has been configured for an
installation of Wise Package Studio. This lets you develop consistent, accurate, and high
quality installations based on corporate standards by ensuring that you use the correct
versions of resources that are shared across multiple applications.
See Connecting to a Wise Software Repository in the Windows Installer Editor Help.
