Determines which files to install as shared. A shared file is one that can be used by other applications on the user's machine. Such a file will not be removed when the user uninstalls your application if any other applications that use the file still exist on the computer.
The system determines the files that can be shared by looking at the installation location you have indicated. Any files can be shared except those that are installed as system files. All files that are not marked to be installed into the $(WinSysPathSysFile) directory have the potential to be shared.
For more information about packaging and deploying your applications, see Solution Distribution.

When you move the mouse cursor over an entry in this list, a ToolTip appears, listing the files for which the given file is needed or stating that the given file was manually added to the list.
