Testing custom products
The product module files and product configuration files that are provided by
Symantec are designed to help you create a buildable, installable product. You
should test whether your feature selections and installation options are
appropriate for your users. It is important that you test your custom products on
all supported platforms before you include them in a package or deploy them to
end users.
The following applications must be installed on the test system or error
messages will appear when you attempt to run the product .msi file:
■
ISScript.msi
If you are using only Symantec pcAnywhere with Symantec Packager, you
do not need to install ISScript.msi.
■
Windows Installer 3.1
To test custom products
1 On the Windows taskbar, click Start > Run .

In the Run dialog box, type the following:
explorer.exe

In Windows Explorer, navigate to the Configure Products data folder.
Data folders are listed in Symantec Packager Preferences.
See
“Changing Symantec Packager data folders” on page 27.
4 Double-click the product .msi file that you want to test.
If you encounter error messages when you double-click a product .msi file,
verify that ISScript.msi and Windows Installer 2.0 are installed on the test
computer.

product.

meet your users’ needs.
