Hi Pavel, Sorry for the confusion on this point, any suggestions on clarifying the manual? what you need is: 'installexceptions' => array( 'bin/some_cli_script' => 'some_cli_script', ); In other words, installexceptions should contain the full path within package.xml to the file, and the full path you expect it to be installed into.
