Note:When configuring .ini file exclusions for Repackager, you are only configuring Repackager to automatically mark the .ini file and/or sections as excluded; this can be changed from within Repackager on an .ini file by .ini file basis. However, when configuring .ini file exclusions for the OS Snapshot Wizard, .ini files in the exclusion list are not captured in the OS snapshot file.
