In Windows environments, software and data can be packaged using the automatic method, with the reference installation on the Packaging Computer or the manual method with manual SXP file creation.
The automatic method is based on a reference installation on the dedicated Packaging Computer, which lets you install software on the Packaging Computer using the software's original installation program, such as setup.exe. It is the easiest method to use, because it automatically generates an SXP product and provides quick results.
When you perform the reference installation, you install the product on the Packaging Computer as if you were going to use it on that computer. All changes made by the product installation are recorded by the Packager in the SXP product. Any other manual changes you make, such as copying files, are also recorded.
For more information see How to Package Products Using the Automatic Method.
The manual method is designed primarily for products that are to be installed on the target computer in unattended mode with their original setup programs. These products must supply a response file with their setup program to enable unattended installation. For more information see How to Package Products Using the Manual Method.
