Use the Standard Mode of the Automatic Method of Packaging

The standard mode of the automatic method of packaging requires only a minimum of settings.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Archive heading to create a new product, or click a product to create a new version of an existing product.
2. Click the Create Product Version icon in the toolbar.

   The Create Product Version dialog opens.

3. In the Create Product Version dialog, enter the name (if necessary) and the version number of the new product or product version. For the product name, you can enter a maximum of 32 characters.
4. Select the Standard mode check box, and click Continue.

   The Installing Software dialog displays.

5. Install the product you are packaging, according to both the instructions on that dialog and the instructions for the product being packaged.

   If required by the newly installed product, and if prompted by the Using the Software dialog, start and end the newly installed product to set the proper registry entries for its programs.

6. Click Continue.

   The Congratulations dialog appears.

7. Register the package in the Software Package Library or convert it into an MSI package.

   The reference system is reset, and all changes during reference installation are removed.

8. (Optional) specify enhancements to the packaged product.

   For example, if you are installing a product with dependencies, you must specify the dependencies.
