Setting |
Description |
|
Source |
This setting shows the path to the source folder that contains the package that you want to include in your Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI project. It also is the source of dynamically included files for the package. Instead of hard-coding a location, you can use a path variable that is defined in the Path Variables view. At build time, InstallShield replaces the path variable with the appropriate value. |
|
Filter |
This setting lets you specify one or more filters that you want to configure for including and excluding files and folders from the project. To add a filter, click the New filter button in this setting. InstallShield adds a new row that you can use to define the filter. To remove a filter, click the subsetting of the filter that you want to remove, and in that subsetting, click the Delete this filter button. To learn more, see Defining Filters for a Dynamically Linked Folder in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project. |
|
Include File |
Specify the name of the dynamic file that you want to include in your dynamic link. You can use an asterisk (*) as a wild-card character. You can also include a path that is relative to refer to the source folder. For example, to refer to a ReadMe.txt file in a subfolder called MyDirectory, where MyDirectory is a subfolder of the folder that contains the package, you could use the following filter: .\MyDirectory\ReadMe.txt For more information, including background on how InstallShield determines which files and folders to include in and exclude from the release, see Defining Filters for a Dynamically Linked Folder in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project. |
|
Exclude File |
Specify the name of the dynamic file that you want to exclude from your dynamic link. You can use an asterisk (*) as a wild-card character. You can also include a path that is relative to refer to the source folder. For example, to refer to a ReadMe.txt file in a subfolder called MyDirectory, where MyDirectory is a subfolder of the folder that contains the package, you could use the following filter: .\MyDirectory\ReadMe.txt For more information, including background on how InstallShield determines which files and folders to include in and exclude from the release, see Defining Filters for a Dynamically Linked Folder in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project. |

Include Folder |

For example, to refer to a MyLibrary, where MyLibrary is a subfolder of the folder that contains the package, you could use the following filter: .\MyLibrary For more information, including background on how InstallShield determines which files and folders to include in and exclude from the release, see Defining Filters for a Dynamically Linked Folder in an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project. |
