Create a DriveWorks Package

To create a DriveWorks package:

1. Locate the files that are to be included in the package, using Windows Explorer.
2. Right click on the folder from which all files are stored.
3. From the menu select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder.

   

4. Once all content has been compressed change the extension of the zip file to .drivepkg, as the example below:

   Current name:

   FolderName.zip

   New name:

   FolderName.drivepkg

   The file name of the drivepkg file can also be renamed.

   For example:

   FolderName.drivepkg

   Can be renamed:

   MyDriveWorksPackage.drivepkg

1. Using Windows Explorer locate the DriveWorks Package File on the machine it is to be unpacked on.

   The file should be displayed with the DriveWorks Package icon.

2. Double click the file to launch the DriveWorks Package wizard.

   • Remap the projects to the extract location.
   • Remap components to the extract location.
