Go Up to Using AppWave Studio


This option takes an existing .app file and extracts it onto your machine. Once extracted, you can make changes and then remaster it. It is a very powerful tool when you want to apply a service pack or add some files to an existing mastered app. To open an app for upgrade follow the steps:

  1. Open the AppWave Browser and click Studio.
  2. On the toolbar menu click Tools and OptionsGear.png and select Open Project.
    Note: When you master your apps, the .app file is stored in the c:/xxx/Embarcadero/AppWaveStudio/Output folder .
  3. Select the file you want to upgrade and click Open. The Open app for reconstruct dialog appears. You can view the steps of this process by clicking Details.
  4. Once all the data is processed the dialog box automatically closes and the Broadcast page opens.
  5. You can modify any of the settings you made when you first mastered the application. You can made changes on the following pages: Launch & Brand, Configure your App, Master and Test Your App, and Broadcast your application to the AppWave.
  6. Once you have made the desired changes, click Broadcast on the Broadcast page. The app is remastered with your changes or upgrades.
  7. Click Finished. Your revised app is made available in the AppWave Browser under your designated folder.
