Setting Exclusions in Package Definition

Not available in Standard Edition.
You can specify files and directories to be ignored by Package Definition, which reduces
the size of the package for distribution. You can exclude:
A file.
A directory. You can exclude the files at the top level of the directory only, or all
contents of the directory and its subdirectories.
Files in a directory based on a wildcard. (Example: *.tmp for all temporary files.)
The default Package Definition exclusion list is the same as the default SetupCapture
exclusion list, except that it only includes files.
To set file exclusions
1. Access the Specify Files page in Package Definition.
See Creating a Package Definition File
2. Click Exclusions.
The File and Folder Exclusions page appears.
3. Click Add.
The File Exclude page appears.
4. To exclude a file:
a. In File/Wildcard, specify a file.
b. Directory is pre-filled when you specify a file. You can use environment
variables surrounded by percent signs (%) to specify paths. To exclude the file
for all local drives, leave this field blank.
5. To exclude a directory:
a. In Directory, specify a directory. This causes Package Definition to ignore files
in the top level of this directory. You can use environment variables surrounded
by percent signs (%) to specify paths.
b. Leave File/Wildcard blank.
6. To exclude a file based on a wildcard:
a. In Directory, specify a directory. The wildcard you set will apply to files in this
directory. You can use environment variables surrounded by percent signs (%)
to specify paths. To exclude the wildcard for all local drives, leave this field
blank.
b. In File/Wildcard, enter a wildcard.
7. To ignore files that match these criteria in all subdirectories of the directory you
specified, mark Exclude Sub-Directories.

added.
