File Wizard

     


  The file wizard is displayed when you invoke the  [Add files] action in the file definition tree. To get more information about the distribution tree and related concepts, please see the overview.
  In the first step of the file wizard you choose whether you want to add
  • the contents of a directory and its subdirectories

    Choose this wizard type if you want to recursively add the contents of a directory. You will have the possibility of excluding certain files and subdirectories and exclude files based on their file suffix. If you would like to specify different settings for one or several files in the included directory, you have to exclude them and add them as single files in the appropriate directory.

    The subsequent steps in the wizard for this selection are:

  • a number of single files

    Choose this wizard type if you collect a small number of files (possibly from different locations) into a single directory. Example: a number of support libraries from different directories are added into the top level directory lib.

    The subsequent steps in the wizard for this selection are:

    • Select files
      Choose the files that should be distributed.
    • Install options
      Select installation options like access rights or overwrite policy.
    • Uninstall options
      Select uninstallation options such as whether to unstall files.
