About Installation Expert in Mobile Device Package
Editor
Installation Expert lets you create and edit mobile device installations and provides an
easy-to-use, task-oriented user interface to perform the most common installation
tasks. Each page of Installation Expert lets you configure a specific aspect of your
installation.
In Installation Expert, the pages are organized into logical groups and listed in the order
in which you usually use them.
For advanced customization, you can edit the .INF directly within the Mobile Device
Package Editor. Changes that you make in Installation Expert are automatically reflected
in the .INF file, and vice versa. To display the INF Editor, click the INF Editor tab at the
lower left of the main window.
