Capturing Applications
In Directory, specify a directory. This causes SetupCapture to ignore files in
the top level of this directory. You can use environment variables surrounded by
percent signs (%) to specify paths. If you specify a path that contains user-
specific data, a variable is inserted in place of the user-specific data.
To ignore the specified file in all subdirectories of the directory you specified,
mark Exclude Sub-Directories. However, this still scans the excluded
subdirectories so that the items that were excluded can be reported on the
SetupCapture Exclusions page.
To actually skip scanning of the subdirectories, also mark Do Not Scan this
directory and subdirectories.
Click OK to return to the SetupCapture Configuration dialog box.
4. If the exclusion list already contains files that are in the directory you specified, you
are prompted to remove the redundant entries. Click Yes.
Items that you specify will be ignored if they change during a capture while this
configuration file is in effect. To edit an exclusion, double-click it in the list.
Setting a File to Be Excluded Based on a Wildcard
You can set files to be ignored based on wildcards. SetupCapture and SOE Snapshot
ignore changes to all files that match the wildcard criteria within a particular directory.
To set a file to be excluded based on a wildcard
1. Do one of the following:
Run SetupCapture Configuration and proceed until the File and Folder
Exclusions dialog box appears.
On the Welcome page of SetupCapture or SOE Snapshot, click Settings and
click the File and Folder Exclusions tab. If the Settings button is unavailable,
you might not have permission to change settings.
See
Setting SetupCapture Configuration Security
on page 44.
File and Folder Exclusions might already contain entries. Items with a question mark
icon were added by the exclusion list building process. Items without a question
mark icon were already in the exclusion list.
2. Click Add.
The File Exclude dialog box appears.
3. Complete the dialog box:
In Directory, specify a directory. The wildcard you set will apply to files in this
directory. You can use environment variables surrounded by percent signs (%)
to specify paths. (Example: %TEMP%\*.tmp or %WinDir%\Exclude.dll)
In File/Wildcard, enter a wildcard. If the file or directory is under a user
profile, the user profile name is replaced with a variable that always represents
the current user profile name.
See
Converting User-Specific Files to Generic User Files
.
To ignore the specified file in all subdirectories of the directory you specified,
mark Exclude Sub-Directories. However, this still scans the excluded
subdirectories so that the items that were excluded can be reported on the
SetupCapture Exclusions page.
