win-extension Used when a file is generated on Mac OS that does not include the Windows extension, such as .fla or .htm. For example, a FLY file named "shoo" created on Mac OS installs with the correct creator and filetype information on another Mac OS. However, in a Windows system, it requires the following to install properly in the Configuration\Shared\Thingies folder: . This adds the extension to the filename and installs "shoo.fly". If you create a file on Windows that does include the extension, such as "heeble.fla" or "frob.htm", and install it on Mac OS, the win-extension attribute does not need to be added to the file tag. Note: If the platform attribute is included, the win-extension attribute is ignored. isresourcefile If set to true, this attribute flags the file as a resource file containing language-specific text strings. Place resource files in a folder with the name [installer prefix].mxi_Resources. When the MXI file is loaded, Extension Manager copies this folder into following location, where it then looks for text strings: • Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Extension Manager CS5 • Vista/Win7: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS5 • Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS5 If this attribute is not specified, it is considered false. For more information, see Creating multilingual extension packages (version 2.1 and later) on page 54. file-type Specifies the file type. Valid values are "csxs", "plugin" and "ordinary". Refer to attribute default-file-type in files tag. If this attribute is not specified, any file wrapped in files tag use the value of the attribute default-file-type in files tag. If attribute default-file-type is not specified either, its default value is "ordinary". The value specified by this attribute has more priority than value specified by the attribute default-file-type in wrapping files tag. minVersion, maxVersion Specifies the minimum and maximum version of the product to which the file will be installed. For example, if minVersion is 9 and maxVersion is 10, the file won't be installed in product version 8 or 11, but will be in product version 9. The correct format for this attribute is Major_Version_Number.Minor_Version_Number.Build_Number. Contents None. Container This tag must be contained in a files tag. Example MXI tag descriptions 23

MXI tag descriptions

win-extension
Used when a file is generated on Mac OS that does not include the Windows
extension, such as .fla or .htm.
For example, a FLY file named “shoo” created on Mac OS installs with the correct creator and file-
type information on another Mac OS. However, in a Windows system, it requires the following
to install properly in the Configuration\Shared\Thingies folder:
<file source="shoo" destination="$Dreamweaver/configuration/shared/thingies/"
win-extension="fly" />.
This adds the extension to the filename and installs “shoo.fly”.
If you create a file on Windows that does include the extension, such as “heeble.fla” or “frob.htm”,
and install it on Mac OS, the
win-extension
attribute does not need to be added to the file
tag.
Note:
If the
platform
attribute is included, the
win-extension
attribute is ignored.
isresourcefile
If set to
true
, this attribute flags the file as a resource file containing
language-specific text strings. Place resource files in a folder with the name [
installer
prefix
].mxi_Resources. When the MXI file is loaded, Extension Manager copies this folder into
following location, where it then looks for text strings:
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Extension Manager
CS5
Vista/Win7: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS5
Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS5
If this attribute is not specified, it is considered false.

later)

.
file-type
Specifies the file type. Valid values are
"csxs"
,
"plugin"
and
"ordinary"
. Refer to
attribute
default-file-type
in
files
tag.
If this attribute is not specified, any file wrapped in
files
tag use the value of the attribute
default-file-type
in
files
tag. If attribute
default-file-type
is not specified either, its
default value is
"ordinary"
. The value specified by this attribute has more priority than value
specified by the attribute
default-file-type
in wrapping
files
tag.
minVersion, maxVersion
Specifies the minimum and maximum version of the product to
which the file will be installed. For example, if minVersion is 9 and maxVersion is 10, the file
won't be installed in product version 8 or 11, but will be in product version 9. The correct format
for this attribute is Major_Version_Number.Minor_Version_Number.Build_Number.
Contents
None.

This tag must be contained in a
files
tag.
Example
<file source = "frob2squig.htm" destination = "$Dreamweaver/configuration/
commands/common" platform = "mac" shared = "false" />
