SUMMARY

When you create an Audit rule file for a package that scans for multiple files, the Audit will fail to report the package if the files you specified are found in different subdirectories.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Create an Audit rule file similar to the following:
          package 0 "MY Application"
             file "Myapp.exe"
             file "Mydll.dll"
    					
  2. Follow the proper steps for creating and distributing an Audit package.
If Myapp.exe is found in a different directory than Mydll.dll, both Audit16.exe and Audit32.exe fail to report the package. Audit16.exe creates a .nhm file that does not contain a group for Audited Software. Audit32.exe does not create a .nhm file.

STATUS

This is by product design.
