3. Click on the Next > button

File selection page is now available. When importing a legacy file, the following options are available.

 

•Path to package file: The path to the .exe file is configured in this field. Either type the exact path or use the Browse [...] button to select the file browsing to the folder that contains the file..

•Setup parameters: Parameters for the setup of the file can be entered here.

•Use virtual machine: When the checkbox is checked a virtual machine from the configured virtual machines can be chosen using the drop-down list. This option is used to convert the legacy file into a temporary .msi using a virtual machine with an installed RayPack. If the box is not checked, the conversion will be done on the local machine, which then needs an installed RayPack instance.
