Working with custom products
In the Symantec Packager main window, the Configure Products tab lists the
product configuration files that you have created and provides information
about when they were last built and modified. In this window, you can create,
edit, and delete product configuration files and view details. The Configure
Products tab displays the product and command configuration files that are
stored in the Configure Products folder that is specified in Symantec Packager
Preferences.
The Configure Products tab might be empty if you have not imported any
product modules. When you import a product module, Symantec Packager
creates a default product configuration file and places it on the Configure
Products tab.
See “Importing product modules” on page 32.
Creating custom products
The first step in creating a custom product is to create a product configuration
file. This opens the Product Editor dialog box, which lets you configure and build
the custom product.
Table 7-1 lists where to find the settings that you need.
