Overview

The files to install can be viewed in the top section of WPINST.

• Individual files. The file is defined by its full name (name and extension) on the development computer. This file will be included in the setup program (if it is found in the source directory during the generation).
• Generic files. The name of the file contains wildcard characters (*,?). All the files found in the source directory and corresponding to this filter will be included in the setup program during the generation.

For example:
