Setting a File, Wildcard, or Directory to Be Ignored
During Uninstall Tests
Quality Assurance module only.
You can specify files and directories to ignore when Machine Capture creates a snapshot
of the current state of the computer. Uninstall tests omit these files and directories from
uninstall test results. Uninstall tests are not available if a group is open.
Generally, you should exclude anything that is temporary or anything that is likely to
result from applications other than the one you are testing. Example: An installation
might temporarily store files in a temp directory, but those files have no effect on the
installation.
