PG and NSIS Applications

I have written 2 auto-updaters in NSIS.

I have to set PG into learning mode to remove the popups about random generated files "ns****.tmp" wanting to execute. (Located in the TEMP folder)

They're temp files for the NSIS applications I wrote, and are necessary for them to work.

I would like to know how to somehow add a wildcarded file to PG to allow the execution of all "ns****.tmp" files

Not sure if this is possible, but I would be grateful if anyone has a solution for me

 

Hi Kye, Wildcards are not featured yet in ProcessGuard. Hopefully DCS will take your suggestion on board for a future release.

Thanks for the quick response Pilli ^_^

Yeah, I hope it's included in the next release

 

I understand why you want the feature, but I do not understand how it is a good idea. Allowing wildcards sounds like a good way to defeat the purpose of Process Guard.

 

I'd agree here - especially with temporary files which always go in the same folder. A more secure alternative would be to have a "Run other programs" Protection option which would permit that program to start others - this could be set for installers and possibly offered as an option in PG's Execution prompt.
