Repackaging and Anti-Virus Software

Any machine that you use to repackage most likely has anti-virus software installed on it, even a "clean" machine.
During repackaging, the real-time virus detection feature of anti-virus software could automatically update various
cached files in its directories.
Therefore, in order to avoid repackaging errors when using the Snapshot repackaging method, you should
exclude the software directories containing your anti-virus software.
