Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out after discovering a strange issue with a SolidWorks 2018 package.
Here's my problem...
After preparing an administrative image of SolidWorks and configuring the controls and setup, the install and remove tests work perfectly (in silent mode).
However, once the package is built, it stops working.

Upon investigation, we realized that the built package contains fewer folders and files...
before build = 24,661 files and 1,670 folders;
after build = 23,597 files and 1,627 folders.

So what could be causing the problem during the package build process?

Wapt's help:

Code: Select all

 wapt-get -h

Default setting:

Code: Select all

  -x EXCLUDES, --excludes=EXCLUDES
                        Comma separated list of files or directories to
                        exclude for build-package (default:
                        .svn,.git*,*.pyc,*.dbg,src)

By default, wapt excludes the following: .svn, .git*, *.pyc,*.dbg, src

Great, thanks Simon.
I didn't realize there were exclusions.
So the "problem" is solved

. Thanks again for your quick response.
