Register Multiple PIF Files As One Product

Symptom:

I have multiple PIF product files belonging to the same product. Can I register multiple files as one software delivery product?

Solution:

To register multiple PIF product files as one software delivery product

1. Put all files belonging to the PIF product (for example, the PIF product itself, some PIF files containing external components and some PIF files containing language resources) into the same directory.
2. Create the required administrative data by executing the sd_registerproduct command with the option -R in that directory.
   A “reginfo” structure is created in the directory.
3. Register the product in the Software Package Library by dragging-and-dropping the directory onto the Explorer. In this specific case, do not use the context menu of the Explorer (Register, PKG, PIF or RPM package), because this would register a single PIF product file only.
