Masked Add & Replace Action
The masked add & replace files action allows for a file mask to be used when adding files from your local file system to the AppLife Package. To use this action, set the target client folder, provide a local folder to look for files in, and supply a file mask such as (*.exe).
When this action is processed during the package build process, the file mask is applied to the local folder and all files that match the mask are included into the package. This action is an extension of the add & replace files action

Execute Stage
