About configuring custom products
During the Configure Products phase, you create product configuration (.pcg)
files. You begin this process by selecting the features and options that you want
to include for each product. This information is saved in a product configuration
file, which is used in the Configure Packages phase to create packages.
The Configure Products phase depends on the successful completion of the
Import Products phase. You can only create custom products for which a
product definition (.pdt) file exists. The build process for custom products
creates a Microsoft Software Installer (.msi) file, which can be tested prior to
inclusion in a package.
