USMT add's application executable to destination of scanstate.exe

[Guest]

Running command:
scanstate.exe /compress- /o /localonly /v:5 /i miguser.inf /i sysfiles.inf
c:\Test

Problem:
After running command, the destination are full of *.exe files (which the
shortcuts on desktop, starmeny and so on points to). I do not want the
executebles in the "backup".

PS!
I've tried to add:

[Copy This State]
DelFiles=ExludedFiles

[ProgFiles]
DIR=C:\Program Files\*

to the miguser.inf without results.

Anyone have a clue on this one?

This happens when USMT needs to migrate shortcuts: it migrates the
executables so that it can get the icons out of them. This issue will not
happen if you remove the "/compress-" parameter from the command line.

But I want the /compress- switch (so the user can browse their backup to get
files collected). I tried out the other responce to this issue and it worked
fine. This was a "non supported" solution so i guess you removed their
answer..??

I had two replies on this issue on Friday, and they are both gone now!
Well anyway, your reply did not answer my question. I actually want the
/compress- switch. Are there any “supported†ways to solve this problem
(*.exe files are collected)?

Are you looking on the right newsgroup server?

I posted an answer to your question in the private microsoft partner
newsgroup together with a simliar suggestion from the microsoft
partner newsgroup support personel.

My answer was:

Try disabling the shortcut handler and force USMT to treat .lnk files
as normal files.

The can be done by commenting out all lines is migism.inf that begins
with LNKMIG


However, this is not supported by msft....
