Browse for File Dialog Box

InstallShield 2014

The Browse for File dialog box is displayed when you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Include Patterns and Files setting or the Exclude Patterns and Files setting on the Signing tab for a release in the Releases view. The Browse for File dialog box lets you specify which static files in your project should or should not be signed. It also lets you use an asterisk (*) as a wild-card character. This is especially helpful if you include dynamically linked files in your project and you want to sign all files that match a certain pattern.

Description

Select files to sign

This box is displayed if you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Include Patterns and Files setting.

This box lists all of the statically included files in your project that match the file types that are selected in the Show files of type list. It also lists some default file patterns, such as *.dll.

Select the check boxes for the files and file patterns that correspond with the types of files in your project that you want InstallShield to sign at build time.

Select files to skip signing

This box is displayed if you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Exclude Patterns and Files setting.

This box lists all of the statically included files in your project that match the file types that are selected in the Show files of type list. It also lists some default file patterns, such as *.dll.

If you want to prevent certain files or file patterns from being signed by InstallShield at build time, select the check boxes for the appropriate files and file patterns.

Show files of type

Use this list to filter the types of files that are displayed in the Select files to sign box or the Select files to skip signing box.

When you click OK on this dialog box, InstallShield adds new Include settings under the Include Patterns and Files setting or new Exclude settings under the Exclude Patterns and Files setting.

Note that the files and file patterns that should not be signed override any files and file patterns that should be signed. For example, if you specify *.exe in an Include setting and in an Exclude setting, InstallShield does not sign any .exe files.
