You create a custom installation package by creating a package definition file
and then building the package. The package definition file contains the
configuration information and installation instructions that Symantec Packager
requires to build the package. Within the package definition file, you choose the

and package installation and logging options. Optionally, a package definition
file can include technical support information.

one or more products or custom commands. As you add an item to a package
definition file, its properties, as defined in the product or command

information may include product requirements or conflicts. A configuration file
is required for each product or custom command that you want to include.
