Creating Virtual Software Packages
You can add multiple deletion entries to a package. You normally add a deletion entry to
the read-only sublayer.
When you add a delete entry, you must specify its type. You can specify the following
types of delete entries:
Warning
Be very careful when adding files to the Delete Entries page. Do not add files unless you
are sure that they are not used by another application.
To add a delete entry to a VSP
1. In Installation Expert, select the Delete Entries page.
2. From Sublayer, select a sublayer.
See
About Sublayers
on page 11.
3. Click Add.
The Delete Entry Details dialog box appears.
4. Select the directory that contains the file.
To add a new directory, select New Folder from the right-click menu and specify
the directory.
5. From Type, select the delete entry type.
6. In Filename, enter the name of the file.
You must specify a file name because a deletion entry cannot be a directory.
7. Click OK.
The entry appears on the Delete Entries page. You can add multiple delete entries.

Exclusions Page
Use the Exclusions page to specify directories or file types to exclude from a layer. Files
that meet the criteria specified on the Exclusions page are not saved in the layer, but are
saved in the base file system. Files that are excluded from a layer are not lost when the
layer is reset. Files that are not excluded from a layer are written to the layer’s writeable
sublayer and are lost when the layer is reset.
system
You can only specify a system delete entry for system-
specific folders (example: Windows and Program Files). If
you specify a system delete entry for a user-specific folder,
an error message appears when you click OK.
user
You can specify a user delete entry for any folder. A user
delete entry applies to every user (example: If you specify
a user delete entry for a file in My Documents, the file
appears deleted from My Documents for every user).
