Step 3: Excluded files and directories

## Step 3: Excluded files and directories |
previous | up | next

In this step of the Windows Archive media wizard you exclude files and subdirectories from distribution in this media file.

| This step is useful to tailor your distribution to platform-specific needs. The distribution tree is shown in expanded form and shows all files. This is unlike the distribution tree in the files step which shows the definition of the distribution tree. Each file and subdirectory has a checkbox attached. If you select that checkbox, the entry will not be distributed. Selections of subdirectories are recursive. If you select a subdirectory, its contents are hidden from the tree since they will be excluded anyway.
