File Bag

This plug-in provided command includes a collection of files (and folders) with setup. The included files are available only while setup is running and are not permanently installed on the target system. This command is typically used when a collection of files are temporarily required at (un)install time, but not by the installed application itself.

Files to include with setup

The full path, including wildcards, to the files to include with setup.

Include subfolders if wildcard specified

When checked, and wildcards specified in the previous field, subfolders will also be included with setup.

Exclude Wildcards

If you would like to exclude some of the files matching your source file pattern above, you may do so by specifying exclude wildcards. Exclude wildcards allow you to filter out some files at build time from inclusion in your setup. Leave this field empty if you do not wish to exclude any files. If you wish to exclude a particular file, folder, or a collection of files and/or folders, enter the name(s) of the items to exclude here. You may use wildcards. Seperate multiple items using semi-colons. Remember to enclose items that contain spaces in their names inside double quotes.

Variable to receive runtime location of files

Enter the name of the variable to receive the fully qualified path where the included files will be available at runtime. Not providing a variable in this field renders this command practically useless, as the actual runtime location of files included with setup will vary each time setup is run.

If specified, this variable must have been previously defined in the setup script using the Set Variable command.

Due to the way the IDE loads plug-ins while running setups internally, the return value of this variable will be incorrect during all in-IDE runs.
