If you assign files to a directory that is part of an optional installation component, those
files are installed only if that component is installed.
Adding Contents of Directories
¾
WiseScript Package Editor only
You can add the entire contents of a directory to an installation or use wildcard filters to
add only specified files in the directory.
1. Select Installation Expert > Files page.
2. In the upper-left list box, select the directory whose contents you want to add.
3. In the lower-left list box, select the directory where you want to add the contents.
4. Click Add Contents.
The Add Wildcards dialog box appears.
5. Complete the Add Wildcards dialog box:
Dest. Directory
Enter the name of the installation directory that will hold the contents of the
directory you’re adding. If you don’t enter a directory name, the contents are
added to the directory that’s selected in the lower-left list box.
Include Wildcard, Exclude Wildcard
To include or exclude files based on specific criteria, enter a semicolon-delimited
list of wildcards. (Example: Enter *.EXE for all .EXE files or *.DLL for .DLL files.)
If you leave the wildcard fields blank, all files in the directory are added.
Include Subdirectories
Mark this to add all the subdirectories within the directory you’re adding. The
wildcard settings apply to the subdirectories also.
Add as a wildcard instead of adding the files
Mark this to have the lower-right list box display wildcard settings (as specified
in the Include Wildcard field or *.* if no wildcards are specified) instead of the
actual file names. This lets you add other files to the source directory later.
When the installation is compiled, all files matching the wildcard filter are copied
to the destination computer. With this option, the program does not
automatically create icons and file associations.
6. Click OK.
The contents of the directory in the upper-left list box are added to the directory you
selected in the lower-left list box or to the directory you specified in the Dest.
Directory field. If you specified wildcards, only files that match the wildcard criteria
are added.
