The Select File panel lets you specify all the files you want included with your installer. JExpress automatically creates a directory tree when you build your installer from this list of files.
Important: If you are having trouble selecting a network drive, then click here.
If you want more control over selecting files within directories, then use the Advanced interface.
Click on the jump point or just page down to learn more about each setting on this panel.

If you're running JExpress version 4.1.0 or earlier, then you'll need to get an update to the latest version. DeNova's development team fixed a bug in Sun's Swing code that prevented Swing from letting users on Windows select network drives. The latest version of JExpress includes this change. DeNova has supplied the changes to the code to Sun's development team and we hope they'll release a new version of Swing that includes the fix.
