Windows is made of packages. Each package has one or more components. Each component has a manifest. The manifest contains information about the placement of files in the operating system. In particular, I am referring to the packages in Windows Embedded Standard 7, however, the structure of all Vista/7 is componentization.
This ScriptLance Project is to create a script/command or tool/program that will export the directory structure and files using a package's component manifests. In other words: export the files in a package, maintaining the directory structure as specified in the manifest. So, for example with Volume Shadow Copy Foundation you would have:
My Exported Package Files Directory\
--Volume Shadow Copy\
----Windows\
------PolicyDefinitions\
[login to view URL]
------System32\
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
In your bid, also *mention* how much more it would be to export the registry entries in the manifest as a *.reg file. The amount of the bid should be without the registry export.
Please note a tool exists that may be able to help you, called CBS Package Inspector.
