About configuring custom commands
Symantec Packager lets you create custom commands to include in your
packages. Examples of custom commands include installations of unsupported
products, batch files, third-party executables, command-line arguments, or
simple file copies. Custom commands let you simplify application deployment
by including multiple tasks in one package. Once defined, you can reuse custom
commands in different packages.
When you create a custom command, Symantec Packager creates a command
configuration file. A command configuration file is a generic product
configuration file that does not reference a product template file. Therefore,
custom commands do not depend on the Import Products phase. The build
process for custom commands creates a self-extracting executable (.exe) file,
which can be tested before including it in a package.
