Configuring installation packages 67 Configuring package definitions Selecting an installation mode Symantec Packager lets you control the level of user interaction required for installations. Silent installations provide no user interface or status information. Passive installations provide progress indicators and other status information but do not provide a way for a user to accept or cancel an action. When choosing either of these installation options, ensure that the package installation automatically handles situations that might require user interaction, such as required computer restarts and unclosed applications. See "Setting restart options" on page 68. Interactive installations provide a user interface that steps users through the installation. You can further customize an installation by adding a brand name or by replacing product-specific installation graphics with custom graphics. See "Customizing optional installation panels" on page 75.
