Why can't you create a separate folder for this application - or even place it in the root of "C"?

can't do that, the app writes temp files to that directory

Unfortunately SEP does not support the use of wildcards (* or ?) in folder paths at this time. Does the application create a common file type? You can exclude by file extension then.

Centralized Exceptions

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
