Working with package definitions
This procedure creates a generic package definition file. You can customize the
package definition file by adding products and custom commands to it, setting
installation options, and adding your own graphics to the installation.

File menu, click
New Package Definition .
The new package definition file opens in the Package Editor dialog box. You
can customize the package definition file now or edit it later.
2 In the Package Editor dialog box, click OK to save the file.

In the Save As dialog box, type a file name for the package definition file,
and then click
Save .
The package definition file appears on the Configure Packages tab.
