Deleting custom products
The Configure Packages phase relies on the output from the Configure Products
phase. If you delete a product configuration that is referenced in a package
definition file, that package definition file will not work. Built packages that are
stored on the Deploy Packages tab are not affected.
To delete custom products
1 In the Symantec Packager window, on the Configure Products tab, select the
custom product that you want to delete.
2 On the Edit menu, click Delete .
3 When you are prompted to delete the file, click Yes .
Symantec Packager removes the product configuration file from the
Configure Products tab.
Configuring custom products
You create a custom product by creating a product configuration file,
customizing product settings, and then building the product configuration file.
The product configuration file contains information about the features and
installation options that Symantec Packager requires to build a custom product.
Symantec Packager uses this information to construct installation packages.
Selecting product features
Symantec Packager lets you customize product installations by including the
features that you want and by removing the features that you do not need. The
product size and installed size change depending on the features that you
choose. If your goal is to reduce the product size and installed size by as much as
possible, include as few features as possible.
