Changes that occur during installation that are unrelated to the actual installation.

changes are made in the Internet Explorer directory that are the result of the
readme file being opened, but are unrelated to the actual installation.
(SOE Snapshot.) Items that you know are not part of the standard operating
environment. Example: the C:\Temp directory.
Changes made to certain system files during restart that are unrelated to the
installation.
Changed files that result from startup processes and services that run if the
installation restarts.
Files added to Temp directories after installation. These files are not usually meant
to be part of the installation.

as opening a text file or Word document.

On the Build Exclusion List page, you decide whether to build an exclusion list
automatically, using snapshot comparison technology. An exclusion list is a list of files,
folders, and registry keys and values to be ignored by SetupCapture or SOE Snapshot.
See Exclusion List Guidelines
The exclusion list you build is stored in the current configuration file. You select the
configuration file from SetupCapture, SOE Snapshot, or SetupCapture Configuration.
To build an exclusion list automatically
1. Close all applications except Wise Package Studio.
2. Run SetupCapture Configuration.
See Configuring Settings in SetupCapture Configuration

directories specified in Directories to Watch.
