get Install Files command to ignore hidden dirs

Will · Post by **Will** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:24 pm

Is there any way to avoid installing hidden directories when calling the Install Files command? There are hidden .svn directories in my stage directories because I keep the install files in subversion for version control. I do not want to install these hidden directories and i do not want to have to put in an Install Files command for every single file (I'm using *.* wild cards to keep things simpler right now). Thanks.

Just use the exclude option in the Install Files command.

I do not see any exclude option in the Install Files command. I'm guessing the version i have (2005 first edition) does not have that feature. I'll find some other solution.

Hi Will

This option has been introduced in InstallAware v5.01. We have an upgrade special running right now in case you are interested - please just email me for more information.
