Static Scanning Wizard
Filter Files Panel
The Static Scanning Wizard may list as dependencies certain files that you do not want added to your
installation. For example, common system files that are already present on target machines usually do
not need to be reinstalled. To avoid having these files added to your installation when you run the
scanner, select the Filter files check box on the Filter Files panel.
To learn how to customize the list of files that are excluded from scans, see Filtering Files in Dependency
Scanners.
Scanning Progress Panel
The Scanning Progress panel is displayed when the Static Scanning Wizard is scanning all .exe, .dll, .ocx,
.sys, .com, .drv, scr, and .cpl files in your project for dependencies. No files are added until you have
confirmed the findings of the scan.
File Selection Panel
The File Selection panel displays a list of possible files and merge modules that you may need to add to
your project. Use this panel to select the ones that you want to include in your installation. For more
information, see Reviewing Dependency Scanner Results.

Setting Description
File Indicate which files you want added to your installation by selecting the appropriate
check boxes. The meaning of each type of icon is as follows:
• : This icon indicates that the file is a system or driver file. This type of file is
normally not redistributed as part of an installation, and it can potentially cause
destination machines to become inoperable. Ensure these files are necessary
before including them.
• : This icon indicates a non-system file. Select the check box to the left of the
icon to include the file in your installation.
• : This icon indicates a merge module. Select the check box to the left of the
icon to add the specified merge module to your project.
• : This is the icon for a .NET assembly in your installation project.
• : This icon identifies a file that the Static Scanner has detected but that is
already in the project.
Deselect All If you want to clear all of the check boxes, click this button. You can then manually
select each check box that corresponds with a file or merge module that you would
like to add to your project.
