Other than the dialog at run time in SetupCapture how do you permanently modify the list?

Here's a hack

If some has the "official" answer please let me know but I did find a workaround so to speak.

Code: Select all

When you run PackageAware.exe it extracts PackageAware to:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\<USERNAME>\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\PackageAware

In this folder you will find fileexclude and regexclude. These are plain text files containing the exclusions.

You can make your changes there and they will persist as long as you run C:\\Documents and Settings\\<USERNAME>\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\PackageAware\\MPA.EXE directly. 

If you re-run PackageAware.exe it will extract the list from InstallAware and overwrite your changes.
I hope someone else finds this useful.
