Sorry for troubling again!!
I still have a problem:
'Dynamic Files Linking' only works for component, but how can I exlude folder such as '.svn' when I insert folder into 'Support Files > Advanced Files > Disk1'?

Instead of defining all the svn-related file name patterns and letting InstallShield search through all directories to locate the files, I simply have another pre-build process copying from to a separate and by-passing any .svn directories. My projects have hundreds of folders and by-passing all .svn directories will be much better than searching through all of them with the ignore-file setting. You can eaily add other file filters as well.

This leaves the as clean as you want and I think it suits better your build purposes.

Thanks, Darain!
You're right. The pre-build process can do the job well other than depending on IS.
