Symantec WINDOWS INSTALLER EDITOR 7.0 SP2 - REFERENCE FOR WISE INSTALLATION EXPRESS V1.0 Installation Manual page 126

Windows Installer Editor Reference
Whenever the contents of directories in the Source Directory list change, the
installation directory is updated, based on the wildcard settings. Example: Suppose
you link the directory C:\Directory and enter *.exe in Include Wildcards. Later
you add Editor.exe to C:\Directory and remove Paint.exe from C:\Directory. This
installation is updated so that it contains Editor.exe and does not contain Paint.exe.
If you also added Paint.dll to the source directory, it is not added to the installation
directory because it does not match the wildcard criteria.
5. To turn off automatic updating for this installation directory, select each directory in
the Source Directory list and click Delete.
6. To configure a particular source directory, select it in the Source Directory list and
complete the Wildcard Details dialog box:
Include Wildcards, Exclude Wildcards
To include or exclude files based on specific criteria, enter a semicolon-delimited
list of wildcards. (Example: Enter *.EXE for all EXE files or *.DLL for .DLL files.)
If you leave the wildcard fields blank, all files in the directory are added. Groups
of wildcards appear in Include Wildcards.
To edit groups, use the Wildcards tab in Options.
See Setting Wildcard Groups
Include Subdirectories
Mark this to add all the subdirectories within the directory you're adding. The
wildcard settings and update installation settings apply to the subdirectories
also.
Change existing components' attributes
When files are added because of changes in the source directory, new
components are created to hold them. Mark this to reset the attributes of any
pre-existing components to the settings that are specified on this dialog box. If
you do not mark this check box, the files currently in the source directory do not
have the component attributes you set below.
Run location
Specify whether new components are installed on the local hard drive (Run
Locally), not installed on the local hard drive (Run From Source), or either.
Change this option only if you plan to integrate Windows Installer function calls
into your application to determine the installed location.
Always increment shared DLL count
Mark this to always increment the count of applications using .DLLs in this
component when it is installed, even if the file is not already installed. Normally,
Windows Installer only increments the shared DLL count on a file if the file is
installed and has an existing shared DLL count.
If a component is installed to the Global Assembly Cache, you cannot increment
the shared DLL count.
Leave installed on uninstall
Mark this to leave the component installed when its parent feature is
uninstalled.
Check condition during reinstall
Mark this to check conditions attached to the component when the application is
reinstalled. If this is not marked, the conditions are checked only during the
original installation.
