Specifying which files are copied during local deployment
The IVFilesToBeCopied registry entry controls which files and file extensions are copied during local deployment. By default, IVFilesToBeCopied includes the following files and extensions that are automatically copied during local deployment:
*.mdd
*.htm
*.html
*.xml
*.mqd
*.gif
*.jpg
*.jpeg
*.png
*.mov
*.bmp
*.avi
catifields_*.mdd
*.css
*.js
catiCallOutcomes_*.mdd
*.xls
*.xlsx
*.xlsm
*.xlsb
*.mdb
*.accdb
*.dbf
*.ndx
*.mdx
*.xsl
*.xslt
*.wav
CatiResources_*.mdd
Resources_*.mdd
*.swf
*.mp3
*.flv
*.mpg
*.ogg
*.mp4
*.wmv
*.3gp
*.RM3
*.mkv
*.webm
*.3g2
You can define additional files and/or file extensions by updating the IVFilesToBeCopied user registry entry. The IVFilesToBeCopied registry entry is located at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SPSS\mrInterview\3\Activate.
The IVFilesToBeCopied rules are as follows:
1 When the localdeployconfig.xml file is available, the file’s IVFilesToBeCopied value is used.
2 When the localdeployconfig.xml file is not available, the IVFilesToBeCopied value is retrieved from the user registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SPSS\mrInterview\3\Activate\IVFilesToBeCopied) and written to the local config.xml file.
3 When the IVFilesToBeCopied user registry key is not found, IVFilesToBeCopied is read from the local machine key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SPSS\mrInterview\3\Activate\IVFilesToBeCopied), copied to the current user registry key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SPSS\mrInterview\3\Activate\IVFilesToBeCopied), and then written to the local config.xml file.
4 The Microsoft Access and Excel file extensions are selected, by default, when working with database questions.
Registry key changes will not take effect until you manually remove any existing references to IVFilesToBeCopied in the local config xml file. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
