Windows Installer Editor Reference
Note
If the following options do not appear on the Source Control tab, you probably don't
have a source code control system on your computer. It could also be that your SCCS is
unrecognized or that there are communications problems between the SCCS server and
your computer.
Enable source control
Mark this to enable all source control functionality both in the current installation
and all future installations. When you mark this check box, the following three check
boxes are enabled, as well as the items in the Source Control menu. When source
control is enabled, you can add files to source control, check files in and out, get the
latest version of files, track history, and view differences.
Check out file when it is opened
If this is marked, then each time you open a file that has been previously checked
in, the file will be automatically checked out for you. If your source code control
system is not available, you can cancel attempts to connect and work on the local
copy of the file.
Check in file when it is closed
If this is marked, then each time you open a file that has been previously checked
out, the file will be automatically checked in for you.
Add new files to source control
If this is marked, then each time you create a new installation file and save it, you
will be prompted to add it to your source code control system.
Enabling the source control options above does not implement source control in the
installation. It merely enables you to add and remove files from the source code control
system, and to check them in and out. Use the options on the Source Control menu to
perform these tasks.

On the Wildcard Groups tab, you can create groups of wildcards so you don't have to
type multiple wildcards repeatedly.
On the Files and Web Files pages in Installation Expert, you use the wildcard groups
when you add directory contents. Wildcard groups on the Wildcard Groups tab appear in
the Include Wildcards list on the Add Contents and Wildcard Details dialog boxes.
Select a wildcard group to add just a subset of the files in the directory whose contents
you are adding.
Several wildcard groups are predefined, which you can edit. If you delete them, they are
recreated when the application starts. Also, wildcards that you enter in any Include
Wildcards field are added to the list of wildcard groups.
To add a wildcard group so it appears in Include Wildcards
1. Select Tools menu > Options and click the Wildcard Groups tab.
2. On the Wildcard Groups tab, click Add.
The Wildcard Group Details dialog box appears.
