Exclude subfolder from Dynamic link.
Hi,
I'm linking my master folder dynamically to get all subfolders and files. This works well. But now I want to exclude a SubFolder. How can I do it ?!
-Root
- Folder1
- Folder1.1
- Folder1.2
- Folder2
- Folder2.1
- Folder3
...
I want to dynamic link "Root", BUT I want to exclude Folder2 and Folder2.1 (I want to exclude it, because I want to put it in an other feature. So if I can make Folder2 dependant of a feature, it would be also good.)
Is that possible ?!
Thanks !
Yannick.

I was trying to do the same thing today, but I couldn't figure it out. Instead, I'm having the folders that I don't want included to be copied to a different location before building the installation happens. It's not the most ideal solution, but it will work for my particular problem.

InstallShield currently allows you to include all or no subfolders for a dynamic file linking. In order to get it work-around, you need to create a separate dynamic file linking for each subfolder that you want to include; instead of having one dynamic file linking for the "Root" folder.
