Browse for File Dialog Box
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.

Patterns and Files setting or new Exclude settings under the Exclude Patterns and Files setting.

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.
