Subdirectory Rules

Use the Sub-Directory Rule dialog to create recognition rules that specify the location of files you want to use to identify an application, but which are not in the software installation directory. You can also use subdirectory rules to check for the presence of a subdirectories created by an application.

To add a subdirectory rule to an application definition:

1    Right-click the Rule pane and choose Add Subdirectory Rule from the shortcut menu. The Sub-Directory Rule dialog is displayed.

2    In the Sub-Directory Rule dialog, enter the name of the subdirectory you want to check for.

3    Click OK to save your rule and close the dialog.

To edit a Subdirectory Rule, right-click the rule in the Rule pane, then choose Edit from the shortcut menu.

Note

If the subdirectory is not always present, embed the subdirectory rule within an optional rule block. This prevents Vector AM from displaying an unrecognized application found message when the directory is not found.
