Creating Virtual Software Packages
Inclusions Page
Use the Inclusions page to specify directories or file types to include in a data layer. This
page appears only when you have a data layer open. It does not appear for application
layers. Files that meet the criteria specified on the Inclusions page are redirected to this
layer.
Example: If you have an application layer for Microsoft Office, you can create a data
layer with inclusions for the file types .XLS, .DOC, .RTF, .TXT, .HTML, and .XML. Any files
with these extensions that are saved by the Office layer are not redirected to the Office
layer, but to the data layer instead. You also can include a directory, so that any files
that are saved to that directory are saved to the data layer.
After you create a data layer, you can add the data layer to an application on the Data
Layers page to group the two layers into a single package.
See
Data Layers Page
on page 33.
To add inclusions to a Virtual Software Package (VSP)
1. In Installation Expert, select the Inclusions page.
2. Click Add.
The Include Details dialog box appears.
3. To specify file extensions:
a. Mark File extension.
b. Enter the file extension.
You can specify only one extension per inclusion. Do not include the period or
wildcard asterisk, as it will be interpreted as part of the file extension (example:
do not use .doc or *.doc).
4. To specify a directory:
a. Mark Directory.
b. Select the directory.
c.
To include subdirectories, mark Include Subdirectories. By default,
subdirectories are not included.
5. Click OK.
The inclusion is added to the list of inclusions. You can add multiple inclusions. To
delete or edit an entry, select Delete or Details from its right-click menu.

Events Page
Use the Events page to configure command lines or WiseScripts to be executed when
layer events are triggered. This lets you add functionality to your Virtual Software
Package (VSP). You cannot add WiseScripts to a virtual software layer.
